The best liniment for dried skin on your hands is, well, a moisturizer. While your toenails may look slightly less scaly after each application of the former, you’ll still get red, sore hands as a result of the latter. To prevent these undesired side effects of your baby’s toenail infection, be sure to rub a sterile, water-based nail polish remover (ones that don’t have a lot of fragrance, such as Nivea Extra Sensitive Nail Polish Remover are best) onto your hands and nails to reduce swelling. Continue using this product on its own or with talcum powder or cleaning the soles of your shoes after you’ve put your baby to bed to avoid left-behind residue of the above.
What If My Nails Are Swollen?
If you found that your baby’s nails were going to have a more serious infection, calling your pediatrician’s office is a must. Ideally, keep your baby’s hands and feet sanitized as much as possible and tell your doctor if there are any broken, discolored nails.
