TOENAIL CARE

Cut nails straight across; file carefully to avoid rough edges.
Never cut the corners of the nails.
Never trim the nail shorter than the end of the toe.
Use good light when doing foot care.
Trim nails only after bathing when feet are clean.
If nails are too thick or tend to split or crack when trimming, have them cared for by your doctor.
