You'll discover that some topics are better left to private places, and admittedly toenail fungus has to be one of them. What may be surprising is there are many millions who develop this ugly fungal infection. Any type of fungus that grows enough to become an infection must be taken care of right away. If this is allowed to continue, then other problems may appear such as loss of finger and toenails. This fungus also could develop in your fingernails, although it is more common in toenails. However it commonly develops in toenails simply because the fungus favors dark and relatively damp surroundings. One other good reason for stopping the spread is due to its being communicable.
Among the first symptoms of toenail fungus is a discolored nail. Many may ignore this because it looks like slightly dirty toenails. A noticeable giveaway with it, however, is those spots cannot be scrubbed clean. That inability to clean the discolored nail is something to bear in mind. That is something you are not going to be able to do with scraping. As the infection becomes more serious, then the toenail could possibly turn entirely blackish or brown in color. There are a variety of products available you can find that do not require that you have a prescription.
You are going to quickly find yourself having more problems to deal with if you don't have the toenail fungus treated. Drastically thinner nails is extremely typical with many people, but not everyone gets to experience it. But, in true variability with symptoms, a few people are going to experience a thickening, not thinning, of their nails. Other symptoms of more severe problems include toenails that are chipping, cracking and easily damaged. The outcome will be loss of the nail entirely with advanced cases. Another symptom as the infection progresses is a more or less foul scent given off by the affected toenail.
Toenail fungus may advance to the point where it becomes bad and causes genuine discomfort. This type of fungus typically grows on the nail bed, and that is why the initial signs are observed under the nail. What happens is the fungus starts metabolizing the toenail because it is feeding on the keratin protein found in the toenaail. It's possible that toenail fungus could grow in lighter environments, like fingernails, but it does best beneath toenails due to less light. In terms of what may possibly cause toenail fungus, ill-fitting shoes worn frequently as well as poor nail care. In addition, a few people could develop an unusual skin pH that lends to the development of this fungus.
In general, you can prevent toenail fungus from forming in the first place by practicing good hygiene and nail care. However it is important to know that this can spread from other people directly to you or from wet community conditions. But you can easily and quickly take drugs orally or apply it directly to the affected toenail.
