'K, I'm about to leave work, but I'll tell you what I know.

1: Don't recommend the bandage (have tried it, they do not stay on at all!)
2: As for the disinfectants, I would use the Betadine in "bath" form only as it is too potent for direct application and can degenerate the skin tissue. You can also use VERY diluted Hydrogen Peroxide (it is also too strong for direct application). If you like, you may apply a dab of triple antibiotic ointment to the toe. You'll have to hold the ig awhile after that so it canabsorb some and not smear off.
3: I would recommend doing the bath/ointment routine twice daily if you can, but once would probably be sufficient too.

Gotta go!
Talk to you tomorrow!
