Podiatry Arena members do not see these ads
I read of a pod who chemically avulses mycotic toenails.I know one has to drill holes in the nail,apply sal acid,etc.My question is:How many holes do you drill and where do you drill them?

Dont know that particular method, but I did hear of someone using 40% urea cream together with a "bonnet "pad. I Think it takes a few weeks but essentially the nail gets macerated I believe.
