Nail Fungus is a type of fungi called Tinea Unguium. This fungi lives and breeds underneath your toe nails. Your nails are very good at blocking infections. They provide a strong border against fungi, bacteria and small organisms. However, even though your toe nails block infections very well, once your toe nail is infected, your nails actually work against you making the infection difficult to treat.
Over 30 million Americans have Tinea Unguium. These types of fungi live in dark, damp places making your feet extremely appealing. If you use nail products like polish and acrylic nails, you have a higher risk of developing this fungi due to these products actually trapping and locking moisture into the nail.
Toe Nail Fungus can also be spread to others, so take extra precautions. Make sure you have something on your feet if you are using a public shower and don't use another person's nail file or nail cleaning instruments.
If you are experiencing Toe Nail Fungus, there are many treatments available. You can use anti-fungal creams and lotions. There are a host of these products on the market which don't require a prescription. Many of these products do take a few weeks to work, because it is relatively difficult to get underneath the toe and contain the fungus.
If you still have trouble treating this fungus, consult a physician. There is an oral treatment on the market. However it requires a prescription and as with all medications can have side effects or may not be suitable for everyone.
