If you have had or currently have nail fungus you will be aware of how upsetting it can be and that it may infect both finger and toe nails. It is caused by a nail fungi which gets underneath your nail bed through a slight cut or slit in your skin. The result is that your nail starts to discolor and lose it’s natural polish, the surface becomes uneven and the edges crumble and next the nail starts to loosen away from the nail bed.

As soon as you have recognized that you have nail fungus you must treat it, as the more time it is left untreated the worse it becomes, because it feeds of your skin and nails. The good news is that there are a number of methods which you can use to treat it.

Some people try to get free of it by removing the nail, however this will not get to the bottom of the problem, as when the nail grows back the infection will reoccur. Another factor to think about is that because nail fungus is highly contagious if you don’t treat it, other people may well become infected and it is able to spread to other areas of your body.

As you treat nail fungus you either use a topical cream or take oral medication, however standard over the counter treatments can take from 6 to 12 weeks to be successful. A physician might suggest that you get rid of the infected nail, or for some people they might advise you to use a type of laser treatment called photodynamic therapy.
