Toe Nail Fungus – Read causes, cures and replacement of new toenail

Yes, toenail will definitely grow back after the toenail fungus is permanently cured.
Toenail fungus is clinically known as Onychomycosis. The fungus normally grows and accumulates below the toenails because the area is moist, warm and dark, a hot place for breeding.


Even if you take good care of toes and wear tight fitted shoes, you can be infected by nail fungus. This is because tight shoes block the passage of air and light, making the area dark, moist and warm.

Other common causes of toenail fungus are nail break, weak nails, wearing dirty shoes, damp feet and small cuts in the nail bed.


It is very important to check out the signs of nail fungus and cure them immediately. After you undergo a treatment, the infected nail will gradually grow and completely remove from the nail bed. Once the infected nail is removed, a new toenail starts growing. This new nail takes about 3-4 weeks to grow completely.

You can try using listerine mouthwash, tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar, lavender oil, rubbing alcohol, vicks vaporub and hydrogen peroxide for treating toenail fungus. All these will help to draw out infection from under the nail bed and pave way for the growth of new toenail.
