How do you do it? / myLot

How do you put a bandaid on the space between your toes? Reason I'm asking, I lost my balance and in an attempt to not fall, I managed somehow to trip over a metal flowerbed edger. I didn't realise until I got in the house that it cut my foot between the toes. I poured peroxide over my foot to clean it up, and it stopped bleeding, so I guess I don't need the bandaid afterall. Hurts though.

Separate the toes but even at that it would be hard by yourself to get the band aid between the toes.

I thought about putting a cotton ball between them and taping the two toes together, but as I said, it stopped bleeding.

@BarBaraPrz You are lucky it stopped bleeding.

I’d try the smallest bandaid I could find or place a soft cloth between the toes then tape the two toes together.

Owwww, that's gotta hurt. Maybe a cotton ball or something like that could be put between your toes.

It stopped bleeding so I didn't do anything but when I was getting ready for bed it started to bleed again, so I shoved a bit of kleenex between them and that seemed to stop it.

That doesn't sound good, maybe you should let a doctor take a look at it to prevent infection.

@rebelann It didn't bleed a lot either time, and isn't bleeding today.

I've only had something like that happen once and Pretty has had that happen once. I put a piece of gauze between our toes and put more gauze around the two toes to hold it in place. It wasn't pretty but it worked very well.

I guess that's all we can do.
