Soaking Instructions - Nail Procedures

3. Dry foot well and let air dry for 5 minutes.
4. Cover surgical site with Silvadene Cream (Antibiotic Ointment) and Band-Aid.
5. Use gauze instead of Band-Aid if the entire nail was removed, this will give it more padding.
6. Wear wide shoes to keep pressure off your toe.
You may still notice some clear drainage or slight bleeding.
You will still need to wash your toe with Antibacterial soap and water daily when showering or bathing.
