How To Treat Nail Fungus

Foot health is an important practice but can sometimes be neglected. There are a lot of issues that can easily develop on the feet because your feet don’t always get a lot of air when wearing shoes and there’s a lot of wear and tear placed on the feet. One common issue that could occur is toenail fungus. Your podiatrists at Southern Maryland Foot & Ankle with offices in Clinton, Waldorf, and California, MD, can explain how toenail fungus is treated and how you can prevent it from occurring again.

How to Treat Toenail fungus

Toenail fungus can be difficult to treat since it occurs underneath the nail, and it can be hard to fully penetrate through the nail. If you notice an odor or yellowing nails, you should talk to your podiatrist in Clinton, Waldorf, and California, MD, to discuss possibly treating nail fungus.

Most often, your podiatrist may recommend more than one form of treatment for the best results possible. A topical or oral antifungal medication may be prescribed. An oral treatment helps heal the nail from within and a topical treatment can penetrate the nail and heal it head on. In severe cases, you may need to look into permanent nail removal.

Once your feet are free of fungus, you should be sure to make some changes to avoid it from happening again. Be sure to thoroughly wash and dry your feet on a daily basis and make sure you’re always wearing clean and dry socks with shoes. You should also wear shoes when you’re at a public pool or shower and be sure not to share foot products, such as nail clippers or socks with other people.
