Fungal Nail Infections
Nail fungus is more common than most people
believe. This is when a white or yellow spot
occurs under the tip of your fingernails or
toenails. As this gets more infected, the fungal
infection goes deeper into the nail, causing your
nail to discolor, to thicken and to start
crumbling.

It can easily be passed from nail to nail. In the
initial stages, it is not painful, and may not
cause any discomfort. Over time, the fungus will
settle into the nail, and cause thicker nails,
and get the nails to crumble. This also passes
onto other nails and causes athletes foot. This
means getting rid of fungus on the nail, becomes
a difficult process as it always keeps on coming
back. Fungal nails can make your feet smell,
distort its shape, become brittle, crumbly or
ragged, as well as being thick. We can work with
you to fight it and get rid of fungal nails for
once and for all. If you are diabetic, like all
foot infections, you need to get this looked at
by a podiatrist to make sure the condition is
looked after properly. Any condition where there
is poor circulation can decrease the immunity
against fungus. Toenail fungal infection can
start from an athletes foot (foot fungus), and
it can spread from one nail to another. But it is
uncommon to get an infection from someone else.

Top 10 ways to prevent Fungal nail infections

• Sweating heavily or not drying the feet can
  increase the moisture for encouraging the
  breeding of fungus. If you dry between the toes
  all the times.
• If you have athletes foot, get this managed
  quickly, as this will spread to the nail.
• Walking barefoot in damp communal areas, such as
  swimming pools, gyms and shower rooms
• If you have diabetes, circulation problems or a
  weakened immune system, any infection, can
  increase the chance of fungus. Consult your
  podiatrist at the first sign of athletes foot.

• Change your socks daily
• Use a disinfectant, liquid or soap to scrub your
  feet daily
• Use antibacterial spray in your shoes
• Keep your feet dry and clean at all times
• Wear flit flops with walking in communal areas
• Do not share towels, nail clippers, etc with
  other people.
• Do not ever share trainers

  your nails (ok, we lied about 10 ways)

Observations
A severe case of fungal nails can be painful and
can cause permanent damage to your nails. This
can lead to other infections that spread beyond
your feet, as this is caused by a low immune
system or by other conditions like diabetes. If
you have diabetes or have reduced blood
circulation and nerve supply in your feet you are
a high risk of skin infection. So any minor
injury or condition has the potential to cause
more serious issues. Fungal nail infection is a
condition, which can lead to more serious
conditions. Any diabetics with nail infections
should get professional help as soon as possible.

Treatment
Fungal nail infections can be difficult to treat.
Very few over the counter medicines have any
success rates. As the results may take months, it
is advisable to get professional support as
quickly as possible, to look after and cure your
fungal nail infections.
