Easy treatments of thick toenails
There are a few things you can do at home to help with your thick toenails.
- First, try soaking your feet in warm water for 20 minutes each day. This will help soften the nails and make them easier to trim.
- Second, use a file or emery board to gently file down the thickened nails. Be sure to file in one direction only and avoid sawing back and forth, as this can damage the nail bed.
- Finally, apply a moisturizer to your nails and cuticles after filing to keep them healthy and hydrated.
If these home treatments don’t seem to be helping, or if your nails are extremely thick or painful, make an appointment with your podiatrist. They may recommend other treatments, such as prescription creams or oral medications, to help improve the condition of your nails. With proper care, you can keep your thick toenails healthy and pain-free.
Way to trim thickened toenails
If you have thickened toenails, there are several ways that you can trim them. For example, you can use a nail clipper, a nail file, or a pumice stone.
If you use a nail clipper, you will want to make the blades sharp. You will also want to be careful not to clip too close to the skin. If you use a nail file, you will want to start at the edge of the nail and file towards the center. If you use a pumice stone, you will want to soak your feet in water for minutes first. Then, you will need to rub the pumice stone over the surface of the nails.
After trimming your nails, you will want to apply a moisturizer to your feet. This will help to keep your skin from becoming dry and cracked. You should also avoid wearing tight shoes or socks. If you must wear them, make sure you take them off as soon as possible.
If you follow these tips, you should be able to trim your thickened toenails without any problems. Remember to be careful and take your time to don’t injure yourself. If you have any questions or concerns, please consult with a podiatrist. They will be able to give you the best advice for your situation. Thanks for reading! I hope this was helpful! 🙂
