How to Prevent Annoying Toenail Fungus
If you have ever wrestled with getting rid of toenail fungus you will appreciate any information that helps prevent it.
After struggling with ridding myself of this fungus I asked my physician for a prescription and she said the only thing she knew of prescription wise for toenail fungus cost $800. Who can afford that? I surely can't.
With the cost of medication being astronomical I set out to learn ways for preventing the toenail fungus.
Here is some of what I learned:
First of all choose shoes that fit you correctly. The nails shouldn't touch the shoes at all. Shoes with a broad toe area will keep your feet more comfortable and healthy. Choose shoes made of natural fibers such as canvas or leather so that they "breathe". Air circulation around the feet is all important. Also, if you are wearing socks, natural fibers breathe well and are also healthier for your feet. Moisture is a haven for toenail fungus.
Trim your toenails properly helps in preventing fungal infection. Be sure to cut the nail straight across with clean, sanitized tools. Remove any sharp edges of the nail by filing.
Cleaning your shower regularly helps cut down on the chance of the fungus. I like to use bleach and let it set and soak a bit. Be sure to wash your feet daily and dry them thoroughly.
Wear different shoes and rotate the type of shoe. Even wearing the same shoes two or three days in a row can elevate your risk for toenail fungus.
When not wearing shoes be sure to place them in an area of lots of air circulation which will discourage the growth of fungus that can turn into a problem for you later.
