common toe nail diseases

2023-06-22

When it comes to nail ailments, toes and fingers alike are often exposed to the same causes. Fungus is but one source of these issues, with bacteria and yeast likewise playing a role. Physical injuries, skin conditions, and medications can all lead to toenail issues as well.

Onychomycosis, more commonly referred to as toenail fungus, is a standard nail issue that occurs when a fungus takes refuge in one or more of the toenails. This type of infection can be contracted in multiple ways, for example walking without shoes in communal areas, using another impaired person’s nail clippers, or having a debilitated immune system.

A common indicator of a toenail fungal infection is the presence of a white or yellow spot at the tip of the toenail. From there, the fungus can cause the nail to take on an unsightly discoloring, become tough and coarse, as well as cause it to detach from the nail bed.

If neglected, toenail fungus can be a source of distress. The nail may be completely wrecked, and the surrounding skin can be infected by athlete’s foot. Furthermore, the ailment could potentially bring about a bacterial infection.

Eliminating the unwanted presence of toenail fungus can be managed by exploring the range of antifungal medications at your disposal. Orally and topically administered solutions offer a viable course of treatment, though if caution is not taken, some may experience adverse side effects.

In cases of severe infection in the toenail, surgical or laser removal may be necessary. To protect the area once the toenail is taken away, a medicated dressing will be applied for further coverage.

Looking after your feet is imperative to avoid any toe fungal woes. Ensure hours of hygiene upkeep by avoiding skin-to-skin contact when sharing nail-clippers and the like. Fungus that’s caught early is easier to get the better of, meaning you’re able to preserve free of infection more quickly.
