Toenail fungal infection is a comparatively common condition. It is becoming a lot more common for a number of reasons. If someone has a toenail fungus they know precisely how disgusting toenails may become. If left untreated the problem usually worsens.
It seems sensible then to get rid of the fungus once you can. Even once treated, toenail fungus can reoccur and should be constantly monitored and precautionary measures taken at every corner. Fortunately there are relatively easy methods on how to prevent toenail fungus.
It is important 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 visit a public swimming pool? In the event that you walk around barefoot in the locker room this may be a problem as well. Sweaty athletic sneakers is actually a cause as well. The very best advice to prevent further infection is to wear sandals regularly as any of these places. For those who have sweaty feet be sure you have absorbent socks.
An extreme measure to treat toenail fungus is to have the nail surgical removed. Another extreme measure is to take heavy drugs such as Lamasil. These and other heavy drugs have very severe side effects and can cause liver disease or possible death.
Non-prescription topical solutions and creams are often expensive and rarely treat anything beyond the most mildest fungus infection. They usually are pretty expensive aswell. I've tried numerous of the remedies with little success.
