Toe Nail Fungal Infection -- How To Prevent It
A toenail fungal infection is very easy to get and can be very painful and unsightly. Also, it can take six months or more to treat and heal. That's why it makes sense to avoid getting a toenail fungal infection in the first place. Here are some simple steps you can take to keep your toe nails healthy and infection-free.
Caused by organisms similar to mold, mildew, and yeast, a toe nail fungal infection is likely to develop in a warm and moist environment. You can contract a toenail fungal infection by stepping barefoot into a warm puddle of water in a public place as easily as from having perpetually sweaty feet. The best prevention against toenail fungal infection is to keep your feet and toenails as clean and dry as possible.
Easy things you can do to prevent an infection
Wear sandals or flip flops in public places like gyms, spas and pools. Keep your shower and bathtub free of mold by disinfecting weekly with bleach. Allow your feet to air out during the day by removing your shoes and socks. Going barefoot at home gives your feet a chance to breathe and dry out. If you must wear socks and shoes all day, use an anti-fungal foot powder on your feet and in your shoes, and wear socks that absorb moisture. Don't sleep with your socks on!
Wash your feet every day, especially between the toes, and use a nail brush. Make sure feet are thoroughly dry before putting on socks. Keep your toenails clean, clipped and short. If you wear toenail polish, change it often and give toe nails a chance to breathe between polish applications.
Regularly disinfect and don't share your pedicure tools. Make sure your nail salon uses disinfected nail tools. Because tight, ill-fitting shoes can increase your risk for a toenail fungal infection, be sure to wear shoes that fit comfortably.
