Today I by accident peeled off about 5 layers of skin in one chunk from my big toe at the back

It is red and it also sometimes hurts when i stand on it

Im very scared of infection or something worse

Later tonight im supposed to wear boots to a party but scared of making it worse

What should i do ? my parents say it will be fine but im concerned

please help

ASAP

Thanks

Make sure you keep it clean, first of all. Clean it and perhaps an antibiotic ointment (like bacitracin or neosporin) will help, along with a band-aid. You didn't give much detail, so that's about all I can do. Good luck.

Red and swelling isn't good, if you can go to the doctor this would be a good time.
