How do I know if I have toenail fungus? 10 Essential Oils That Help Eliminate Fungus!

Nail fungus - symptoms.

Onychomycosis is a very common infectious disease that usually affects toenails and fingernails. Signs of nail fungus include discoloration, yellowish or whitish nail color, separation of the nail from the base of the nail, thickening of the nail and a rough, non-smooth surface. The edges of the nails become brittle, and a loose horny mass accumulates under them. The spread of nail infection is often promoted by public, wet places: sand on beaches, wet environment in the gym, sauna, swimming pool, changing rooms and places where common shoes are used - ice rinks, bowling clubs, etc. The infection can be caused by unsuitable shoes and nail injuries, bad hygiene habits and weakened immunity. If you suspect nail fungus, it is important to see a doctor or dermatologist for treatment. Untreated nail fungus can cause serious nail damage and even lead to secondary infections.

Athlete's foot - symptoms.

The main symptoms are reddened skin on the feet, cracks between the toes, around which small blisters can form. These blisters can rupture and cause erosion or damage to the skin epithelium, which can be quite painful. Cracked skin is also an ideal breeding ground for bacteria that can cause pus to form. For these reasons, it is important to clean both feet thoroughly and take care to prevent infection. If the fungus appears on the skin, it can quickly spread to the nails and vice versa. However, with prompt treatment, athlete's foot can be effectively prevented.
