What is cork fungus, how is it treated?
The fungus usually occurs on your toenails, but can also grow on your fingernails. In addition to not being pleasing to the eye, treatment is also important for health. If you have yellowish, green or brown nails, be sure to take a look at the homemade remedies prepared for mushrooms.
CHARACTERISTICS OF NAIL FUNGUS
Its medical name is oncomycosis and is usually called nail fungus. It is especially common in men and large nails. It may come out in your hands. Women are more often affected.
As soon as a nail becomes infected with fungus, it spreads easily to other nails, but the disease is always on the same limb. This means that it can be on the fingernails of the same hand or foot, or even jump from one foot to another or from one hand to another. The possibility of the fungus spreading to your hands is very rare.
Fungus usually occurs due to environmental factors; for example, humidity, high temperatures, long hours of wearing shoes indoors, spending a lot of time in the pool. It can also affect people who are in constant contact with water by doing things like dishwashing, cleaning the house, and people with diabetes over 60 years, impaired blood circulation or poor immunity.
When the mushroom settles on the nail, the nail begins to thicken and appear yellow. Sometimes it can be gray, green, brown or black. Depending on how the infection progresses, the nail will gradually cover, peeling or even falling. The skin underneath is red, swollen and itchy.
In rare fingernail fungus, the nails are yellow or brown, cracks occur, the nail becomes brittle and weak. Because it is not strong enough to grow, it can fall in the same way as in the fungal foot.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO PREVENT THE SPREADING OF NAIL FUNGUS
Here are our recommendations for athlete's foot:
Do not wear shoes that are too narrow or made of synthetic material. The fungus likes moist, dark and non-ventilated environments because its reproduction occurs in such places. Take care not to get wet or damp socks on your feet in winter. Avoid materials that do not allow your skin to breathe, such as plastic. We recommend leather shoes, but if possible, especially shoes with free space on the nail will allow your foot to breathe.
Avoid walking barefoot in communal areas such as gym shower area, changing rooms, pool. If you walk around, wash your feet and dry them thoroughly before wearing your shoes.
Do not use others' nail clippers in beauty centers or in the family. Always take yours with you and don't share it with anyone. If one of your toenails has fungus, do not use the same tool to cut your other nails. That way, it won't bounce on your other nails. Cut your nails regularly and straight.
