How Laser Treatment Solves The Issue Of Toenail Fungus

Toenail fungus is an embarrassing condition that can affect anyone but is more common in adults. Fungal nail infections are a result of a variety of reasons like yeast and mold. However, it mostly thrives in wet environments. You can contract the initial infection from moist places such as pools and showers, or even from something as simple as wearing damp socks. Toenail fungus develops slowly beneath the nail with no initial symptoms, in time it thickens the toenail and creates discoloration. The fungus also lifts the toenail from the nail bed causing it to soften and crumble, in extreme cases cause loss of the toenail altogether. If left untreated, this infection can spread to other toenails and your feet.

Prevention is key, and there are a few ways in which you can minimize your chances of developing fungus of the nail.
Dry your feet immediately after they get wet
Wear flip-flops in public areas and showers
Avoid sharing towels and toiletries
Clip your toenails to make your feet easier to clean

Topical antifungal nail cream is a popular choice as it’s relatively easy to buy and apply, however, it isn’t always effective at completely clearing the fungus. Oral antifungal medication such as Lamisil is also an option, but it can take up to three months for the infection to entirely clear. Although this medication will effectively kill the fungus, the effects of it can still appear on the nails. As nail fungus presents predominantly aesthetic symptoms, it is ideal to have the fungus treated as the toenails still thick and yellow.
