Home Remedies

  • Wear gloves to prevent contact with irritating substances, such as water, soap, detergent, metal scrubbing pads, scouring pads, scouring powder and other chemicals
  • Trim the toenails about once a month. Do not trim cuticles or use cuticle removers
  • Do not bite your nails or pick at the skin next to nails
  • Soaking in hot water two or three times a day for 15 minutes reduces swelling and pain and assists in healing. Warm compresses applied to the finger or toe can also reduce pain and swelling.
