Take a nail file and file the top of the nail gently in order to make sure the treatment applied will penetrate the nail better. Apply salicylic acid on your toenail and wrap your toe with a band aid so the salicylic acid will stay on.
Let the band aid on for a whole day and avoid getting it wet. Moisture helps bacteria thrive so avoid leaving your feet wet. The next morning wash your feet with antibacterial soap and apply more antiseptic solution. Apply again salicylic acid and repeat as often as you can. Use a topical cream when you are not wearing your salicylic acid band aid
If you see no improvement in the appearance of your toenail it is best to consult a podiatrist so he/she can prescribe another medicated treatment.
