Home treatment for a suspected nail infection
Try home treatment if you think you have an infection in the skin
around your nail.
- Soak your foot or hand 2 to 3 times each day in a
solution of 1 tsp (5 g) of salt dissolved in
4 cup (946.4 ml) warm water.
After soaking, apply an antibiotic ointment, such as Bacitracin, and a
bandage.
- Do not try to remove any part of the affected
nail.
- Remove an artificial nail if you think you have an infection
around or under a nail.
