A member asked:
Can i use a fingernail buffer on my toenails? i couldn't find any pedicure buffers.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A fingernail buffer is safe for toenails. Just make sure to avoid damaging your cuticle because you could develop a bacterial or fungal infection if the cuticle is damaged.
