September 4, 2019 By Kelly Pepper Leave a Comment

Have you ever wondered what causes nail fungus? Whether you have them on your toenails or fingernails, it’s definitely going to be an unpleasant business you have to deal with. This guide will help us get through that. As much as we take the time and effort in beautifying our nails, our nails’ health shall also be our main priority.

Nail Fungus: Treatments & Everything You Need To Know About Them

Most of us ignore our nails’ health even if something seems unusual with them. As early as having discoloration of the nails, you should know that this is a sign of fungal infection. If the condition is mild and is not bothering you, you may not need treatment just yet. But if the nail fungus is quite painful and has resulted to thickened nails, home-care medication can help.

To know more about the treatments, here’s an infographic from toenailfungusreviews.org:

Topical nail fungus treatment will successfully remove the majority of nail fungus infections. We suggest using it as your first method of treatment and that you choose a topical ointment containing the following active ingredients:

Undecylenic  acid is an FDA approved ingredient used to treat fungal infections. Effective at 10% concentration.

 

Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree is a natural oil extracted from the leaves of Melaleuca Alternifolia.

 

Sunflower Seed Oil

This oil extracted from Sunflower and contains vitamin E, A, D, and fatty acids penetrates deep into nail bed.

 

Camphor

Camphor reduces irritation, pain, and swelling associated with fungal infections.

COMMON CULPRITS:

Always avoid going barefoot in public places and wear open toed shoes or sandals when appropriate. Below are common sources of fungal infection:

Dirty Footwear

 

Street

 

Beach

 

Gym/Lockers

 

 

Showers

 

Fun fact: Nail fungus infection is also called onychomycosis
