The Symptoms and prevention of Nail Fungus
Nail fungus is made up of micro-organisms that can infect fingernails and toenails. These organisms are
called dermatophytes. Fungi are parasitic plant organisms, such as mold and mildew. These parasitic
organisms lack chlorophyll and therefore do not need the sun for growth. Nail fungus is very common.
Once the nail fungus moves under the nail, it is difficult to achieve and stop. Nail fungus provides a safe
place and protect it while it grows. This is why the main prevention is very important. Nail fungus can
sometimes spread from one person to another. These organisms can live where the air is often moist
and people's feet are bare. Common places that fungus can spread include: shower stalls, bathrooms, or
locker rooms. It can also be passed along when you share a nail file or the Clippers with someone who
has a nail fungus infection. Nail fungus can also spread from one of your other nails.
Symptoms of fungal nail infection?
Often the infection is only one nail, but several may be affected. Initially, the infection is usually painless.
Nail may look thickened and discolored (usually greenish-yellow color). Typically, these are all things
that occur, and often do not cause any symptoms. However, it can look unsightly.
Sometimes the infection becomes worse. White or yellow patches may appear where the nail comes
away from the skin under the nail (nailbed). Sometimes the whole nail comes away. Nail may become
soft and crumble. Pounding nails to come off. The skin near the nail may be inflamed or scaly. If left
untreated, the infection may eventually destroy the nail and the nailbed, and may become painful.
Walking may become uncomfortable if the toenail is affected.
Nail fungus prevention-
By following common sense precautions, including proper hygiene and regular inspection of the feet and
toes, the probability of the problem can be greatly reduced or stopped.
Tips on how to avoid nail fungus:
-Wash your feet regularly with soap and water.
-Keep in mind, dry your feet thoroughly after washing.
-Fitting of shoes is especially important, surprising people wear shoes that do not fit right, and cause
serious foot problems. The company's sole and soft upper shoe is best for daily activities.
-Shower shoes should be worn when possible in public areas.
-Nails should be cut straight across the nail does not extend beyond the finger.
