What should i soak acute toe paronychia in? epsom salt bath? another kind of bath?

You do not have to soak it in anything other than warm water for 20 minutes at least 3 -4 times per day. If the skin is broken add a little salt to the water before soaking. Dry after and put Vaseline petroleum jelly or antibiotic ointment on it and a bandage. If the water gets cold during the 20 minutes add more warm water or replace the water.
