How Do I Do an Ingrown Toenail Cleaning After Surgery?
- 1). Remove the bandage carefully twice a day and soak your foot. Use warm water for the bath and make sure your toe gets clean while it is soaking.
- 2). Use you finger to gently rub away any dirt or lint that may be on your toe while it is soaking.
- 3). Take your foot out of the bath and let it dry completely. You can use a soft towel to gently pat the water away from your foot and expedite the drying.
- 4). Apply antibiotic lotion to the toe with your finger. This will help the toe heal and keep infections at bay.
- 5). Let the lotion dry on your toe and redress it in the bandage. You should use a new bandage every time the old one becomes dirty or stretched out.
