alcohol - clorhexidine

Ingrown toenail irrigated using 70% alcohol - 0.5% clorhexidine

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

70% alcohol - 0.5% clorhexidine

Intervention Type DRUG

In the intervention group five rounds of 3 ml wash of 70% alcohol - 0.5% clorhexidine was used to irrigate the exposed area of the nail to neutralize any residual effect of phenol and found out how much residual phenol is still in the wound.

70% alcohol

Ingrown toenail irrigated using 70% alcohol

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

70% alcohol

Intervention Type DRUG

After phenolization of the ingrown toenail the wound is irrigated with 15 cc solution of 70% alcohol plus 0.5% clorhexidine
