Nails Ideas...

• Trim toenails regularly. Keeping them short will minimize the risk of trauma and injury.
• When toenails are thick and difficult to cut, soak your feet in warm salt water. Mix one teaspoon of salt per pint of water and soak for 5 to 10 minutes.

• Avoid “digging out” ingrown toenails, especially if they are infected and sore. If you are suffering from an ingrown toenail, see a dermatologist for treatment.
• Wear shoes that fit properly. Also alternate which pair of shoes you wear each day.
• Wear flip flops at the pool and in public showers. This reduces the risk of infections caused by a fungus that can get in your toenails.
