Protecting Your Protector

The main purpose of your toenails is to provide protection for your toes. When these toenails start being affected by issues like nail fungus and nail trauma, the nails will no longer be able to protect your toes like they’re supposed to. There’s many reasons why your nails can start experiencing issues, which can range from exposure to moisture and heat to friction caused by shoes.

Toenail Fungus 

Toenail fungus is a very common nail condition that’s most prevalent among individuals who are 70 years old or older. It begins with the development of a small spot just underneath the front of the toenail. This spot is usually yellow or white in color. If you don’t tend to this problem immediately, the fungus will continue to spread, which will invariably cause the affected toenail to thicken and become discolored. These nails can also start to fall apart as the condition progresses. Over time, it’s possible for the fungus to spread to surrounding toes.

If you feel as though you might be suffering from toenail fungus, look for any yellow or white discoloration below the toenail. Other symptoms of toenail fungus occur when the toenail smells poorly, becomes brittle, is misshapen, or thickens.

Causes for Toenail Fungus 

Toenail fungus is particularly common among people who walk barefoot in areas where other individuals with toenail fungus have been, which includes locker rooms and pools. In order to survive, fungi typically need to be in a damp and darkened environment, which means that you need to avoid wearing boots or shoes that are sweaty or have recently been in rain.

Treating Nail Fungus

If you’re suffering from toenail fungus, the most successful treatment option involves taking anti-fungal pills that will be prescribed to you. Taking anti-fungal pills will help the fungus to disappear completly (in anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months).
