Fungal Toenail Care — Step by Step

Fungal Toenail Care — Step by Step

Step 1: Wash the foot and toenail gently with clean water and mild soap.

Step 2: Mix equal parts white vinegar and clean water in a small bowl.

Step 3: Soak the affected toenail for about 10–15 minutes.

Step 4: Rinse the foot with clean water and dry the toenail thoroughly, especially around and underneath the nail edge.

Step 5: Apply a small amount of tea tree oil diluted with a carrier oil to the affected nail. Avoid putting undiluted tea tree oil on irritated or broken skin.

Step 6: Keep the nail short, clean and dry, and change socks regularly.

Step 7: Repeat consistently, but stop if there is burning, redness or irritation.

⚠️ Important: Vinegar and tea tree oil are home remedies, but they are not proven cures for toenail fungus. A thick, yellow or crumbly nail can need antifungal treatment from a healthcare professional, especially if it doesn’t improve.
