Home remedy for black toe nails
When your toe nail turns black, the best thing you can do is to relieve the pressure underneath the nail as quickly as possible. You may even save the nail with quick preventative action. Here's a simple home remedy that may help relieve the pain and get you back on your feet so to speak. Hot Needle You will smell the burning protein similar to hair being burnt, which is what makes up our nails, and perhaps hear a sizzling noise. That's it, as soon as the hot needle is through you will feel a sharp prick under the toe nail which will cause you to instinctively pull the needle out and blood will be released. Swab the toe nail with some antiseptic, kitchen disinfectant is good, and place a swab on the toe to avoid blood seeping from the toenail to smear all over the place. How to prevent black toe nails If you are into running sports or snow skiing, make sure your nails are trimmed back as far as possible. This will stop the nail from bumping up on the front of your shoes or snow boots causing bruising. You may not feel the bump at all while you are exercising, skiing or playing your sport, but once you stop and take that shoe off, the pain will become apparent, so trim those nails everyday before you partake in your chosen activity. Purchase shoes that are not too tight or too loose and have a nice broad toe box so the feet do not bump up against the front of the shoe. You should have about a half-inch of space between the end of your longest toe and the top of your shoe. To help prevent friction wear blister-free socks. Getting your shoes or ski boots professionally fitting is also a huge benefit when purchasing or hiring footwear. Accidents do happen and if you are working in an area where something may fall on your feet, purchase protective footwear. Your feet are just as important as any other limb, so treat them with the respect they deserve and take positive steps to protect them as much as you would any other part of your body.
