Abstract

A method of prevention and treatment of microbial infections that occur on, or just below, the skin and nails consisting of the application of electromagnetic radiation to an infected area of skin or nails for nails for a time and at a proximity and intensity sufficient to render the microbes substantially inactivated and incapable of reproducing.
