The nail will turn a shade of white and yellow, thicken and get porous. But it’s not only toenails which can be infested, nail infections can also occur on fingernails.

Day to Day Measures with Nail Fungus

- Use Anti-Fungi Nail Polish: Use anti-fungi nail polish at home. This therapeutic nail polish is available in different colors. Being infected, does not mean you can‘t also have groomed toenails.
- Properly wash Stocking and Socks: Wash your stockings and socks at a minimum of 70 degrees. You can also use particular anti-fungus-detergent, which will inhibit the spread of the fungus. If you tend to have sweaty feet, you should change your stockings and socks multiple times a day.
- Do not share Nail Care Utensils: Do not share nail care utensils, such as scissors, files or even nail polish with other family members to make sure the fungus spores are not spread.
- Use Disinfectant Spay on your Shoes: Use particular anti-fungus sprays on your shoes to stop the spread of fungal spores. These have long life span on objects. Even if you manage to keep the nail fungus under control, you might reinfect yourself from your own shoes.
