Green Toenail Treatment Process
TREATMENT PROCESS
This is my current treatment process for patients with Green toenails.
- 1st Visit - Evaluate your condition, determine if the toenail is fungus, detached or has pseudomonas infection (green) under the toenail. Work at reducing the moisture.
- Home Treatments - You can try home treatments such as these.
Bleach 1:4 (1 part bleach 4 parts water) apply to toenail twice daily
Vinegar 1:2 (1 part vinegar 2 parts water) mixture soak feet twice daily
- Prescription - If the home treatments do not work we can try prescribing Tobramycin drops.
- Onyfix - Many times if the toenail is detached applying Onyfix to the toenail can help it reattach and clear up.
