What is a Puncture Wound

Puncture wounds can occur when the foot is penetrated by (an often) sharp object such as a nail, needle or garden tool (ouch!!). There is an increased risk of infection for puncture wounds in this area, as the foot is often warm, moist and therefore more likely to be exposed to bacteria. The bacteria Pseudomona can often infect the foot around the sole. Puncture wounds can also damage the ligaments of the foot including the Plantar Fascia.

So what next? If you have sustained a minor cut or puncture wound to your foot, firstly it is important to clean the wound, with soap and water. It is a good idea to soak the foot in soapy water for around 15 minutes too. Ensure to remove any visible dirt from the wound. 

You can apply an antibiotic ointment to the injury site and cover with a band-aid. This should keep the wound clean and help kickstart the healing process. As with any injury, if the pain gets worse, the inflammation increases or spreads, call a doctor or see a medical professional ASAP. 

If the cut is deep or bleeding profusely it is obviously advised to seek urgent medical attention immediately.
