I'm trying to trim my toenails. Started 6 hrs ago. Soaked each foot over an hour. Now I remember why I never touched my toenails without being slightly enibriated

Id recommend seeing your g.p. this is what I did. An I cant remember if I took some pills or what I did. But what ever it was. It cleared my toe nails up, an the nail went back to normal

Kim Cook My left foot was like that. I had severe hammer toe. My toe would not stay in joint. Get a good surgeon. Some just go to the closest and you really need a good one.

I know it’s rough. And hard to reach. And painful. The toenail fungus is tough too. The pills for it are tough on your liver. This might sound way out there, but I have seen people, my husband included, who completely cured toenail fungus by adopting a extremely low carb/practically carnivore diet

Apple cider vinegar on nail daily and Vicks rub on nail daily. Filing top layer of nail bed a bit to thin can help the remedies to reach in. Takes months to grow out but worth trying and safe.
