i'm allergic to iodine, so i default to peroxide first.
if it continues to look red and yuck after an hour or two, i'll do a quick swab with alcohol.
and then let it alone with antibiotic ointment and a bandaid if needed.
however, should you end up tripping over a stick, embedding it in between the nail bed and the cuticle of your big toe... don't screw around, just go to the doctor. MRSA and an effed up toenail are not worth it.
