What can youdo about an infection around the toe nail?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
WHAT KIND: First, determine if it's fungal or bacterial. If fungal, options are pills, topicals, or laser therapy. If bacterial, a portion or all of the nail may be needed to be removed, antibiotics, or both. Sincerely, Dr. Latva
