I think a thorn scraped her leg just above the knee... it wouldn't heal, after meds they did a culture and found it was fungal. She ended up having to have a skin graft done!

Antiseptic, like rubbing alcohol or what? I'm at the shop, but I can go to the pharmacy it's down the street.
For general type First Aid... wash the wound with regular soap and water, rinse well and dry. With the feet you may want to use a blow dryer on low setting. Then you can apply a small dab of triple AB ointment. Best not to bandage a puncture wound.
