STEPS
1. Soak foot in water:
This is most easily done by wearing a wet sock and tennis shoe for a day. Salt water is best.
2. Remove diseased nail:
A pair of nail scissors work best to remove as much of the diseased nail as possible.
3. Twice Daily Treatment:
Alternate using salt water on the remaining nail morning and night, heating the area with a magnifying lens and the sun, and brief (10 second) illumination with a laser pointer. Also use athlete's foot creme on the nail and surrounding area.
Warnings: Do not burn the skin or nail. Do not expose your skin directly to harmful radiation.
