Clean the wound(s) well by flushing with clean, warm water. Use hydrogen peroxide, or a disinfectant spray to disinfect the wound (this may sting). Consider covering the wound with an antibiotic ointment and a self-stick bandage.
Things to watch for:
1) A red "line" moving up your toe and/or foot over time. If you see this, go ~immediately~ to the Emergency Room of your nearest hospital.
2) A red, scaly, itchy rash on the toe or foot. If you see this, go to your physician as soon as possible.
3) If your discomfort lasts more than three days, go to your physician to have your toe checked out.
Consider putting an ice bag on the toe for the first 24 hours to help reduce swelling and to help with pain.
