Toenail fungal infection is a relatively common condition. It is becoming more and more common for several reasons. If someone has a toenail fungus they know precisely how disgusting toenails may become. If left untreated the problem usually worsens.
It makes sense then to remove the fungus once you can. Even once treated, toenail fungus can reoccur and must be constantly monitored and precautionary measures taken at every corner. Fortunately there are relatively easy ways on how to prevent toenail fungus.
It is vital to first identify the source of your toenail fungal infection. Possible sources are many. Do you workout at the fitness center and take public showers? Do you go to a public swimming pool? If you walk around barefoot in the locker room this could be a problem as well. Sweaty athletic sneakers could be a cause as well. The best advice to prevent further infection is to wear sandals consistently as these places. If you have sweaty feet be sure to have absorbent socks.
An extreme measure to treat toenail fungus is to really have the nail surgical removed. Another extreme measure is to take heavy drugs such as for example Lamasil. These and other heavy drugs have very severe side effects and can cause liver disease or possible death.
Over-the-counter topical solutions and creams tend to be expensive and rarely treat anything beyond the most mildest fungus infection. They are usually pretty expensive as well. I've tried numerous of the remedies with little success.
