These things will put your more at risk for developing fungal toenails...
- Aging
- Diminished Blood Circulation
- More Years of Exposure to Fungi
- Slowly growing, thicker nails are more susceptible to fungus
- Heavy Perspiration
- Working or Living in a Humid Environment
- Wearing shoes and socks that don't breathe
- Going barefoot in public areas like pools or showers
- Athlete's foot
- Diabetes
- Circulation Problems
- Weakened Immune System
To prevent fungal nails from recurring make sure you use proper foot hygiene. Keep nails short, dry, and clean, wear properly fitted socks, don't go barefoot in public places. It is also smart to avoid the temptation to wear nail polish over your fungal toenails as it may cause the problem to worsen. If you go to a salon for a pedicure bring your own tools, like the kit pictured above which can be purchased through our online product store.
