Many neglect their nails while bathing, but the simple use of soap and water to clean your nails can help defend against any form of infection, including fungal infections.

Fungus thrives in warm, moist environments including the hot insides of your shoes and socks.

Avoid going barefoot in public facilities.

This should especially be the case in warm, wet locations such as shower rooms, public pools, and gyms.

Instead of walking around barefoot, wear slippers, sandals, or shower shoes.

As much as possible, skip wearing nail polish and acrylic nails as both can trap moisture under the nails, creating the ideal place for fungus to grow and thrive.

If you notice a white or yellow spot under the tip of your toenail, that could be the beginnings of a fungal infection. As the infection goes deeper, the fungus may cause your nail to thicken, discolor, and crumble at the edges. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), fungal infections affect toenails more than fingernails, especially since toes are confined in your shoes, and fungi thrive in warm, moist environments, causing them to thrive and overpopulate. This is why, if you’re fond of getting manicures and pedicures at salons, you make sure that the staff disinfects their tools properly and thoroughly. For example, this condition is more common in older adults, typically those above 65 years old, than in children because older adults have poorer circulation, and their nails grow slower and thicker with age. You use it for cooking, and sometimes even as a home-cleaning solution.

Don’t wait until toenail fungus gets so annoyingly itchy and painful that you can’t even walk to your kitchen. These can either relieve the pain temporarily, or even kill fungi, thanks to their antifungal effects. That’s because the acidity of the vinegar balances the pH levels of the skin, making it a hostile environment for fungi to multiply. Allicin and ajoene, natural compounds both found in garlic, are potent antifungals. Seal in the treatment by covering with a bandage, and leave it on for two hours. Fungi found in cornmeal can indeed kill the kind that causes toe nail infections.

Toenail fungus, medically known as onychomycosis, typically starts as a white, brown, or yellow discoloration on or under the nail. As the condition spreads or worsens, it causes the nail to thicken, crumble, become distorted in shape, loosen, or fall off altogether. While it usually affects only part of a nail, it can spread to the skin around the infected nail, or even to other neighboring nails. This is especially the case to those who spend a lot of time in damp communal areas such as gyms, shower rooms, and public swimming pools. Luckily, there are tons of home remedies you can try, some involving common household products, and others topical solutions you can purchase online or over-the-counter in your local pharmacy.

Additionally, the chances of getting a fungal infection increases as you age, being more prevalent in those above the age of 60.

While it doesn’t go away on its own, nail fungus is highly treatable, so there’s absolutely no shame in getting treatment, especially in the case of recurring nail fungus.

In fact, 1 out of 4 people who experienced successful treatment suffer from nail fungus recurrence.

Disinfect your nail clippers after each use.

Choosing the right footwear.If you’re fond of closed-toe shoes, choose ones that are made of breathable material like canvas or leather.

Otherwise known as onychomycosis, the most noticeable symptom is a discoloration on your nail, typically beginning as a white, brown, or yellow spot on or under your nail. As it spreads, it causes your nails to thicken and crack, as well as become brittle and distorted. Topical Solutions   By far the easiest and fastest way to get rid of toenail fungus, topical solutions typically come with a brush applicator that you can use to apply the solution on the infected nail. Before using the topical solution, trim the infected nail and file it as close to the discolored spot or source as possible. Tea tree oil has many therapeutic benefits, including its potential to act as natural antifungal and antiseptic agent. However, because nail fungus can be a challenge to treat, it may take awhile before you see any evident results.
