Before using it, perform an allergy test in the crook of your elbow to avoid any risk of irritation. If you do not observe any harmful effects, proceed to apply 1 to 2 drops of pure tea tree oil to the affected nail, then leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing. The nail must first be cleaned and lightly filed on the surface for the product to work optimally.
