Remedies and cure for fungus toes
Fungal infections are common problems that affect people on their toes and fingers as well. The culprit behind this infection is a fungus called dermatophytes. These infections attack the nails and eat way at the keratin.
The top layer of your nails is made up of Keratin and when the infection attacks you it results in a drastic change in the colour of your nails. Yellow nails are a sure sign of a fungal infection and you should certainly visit your doctor to seek a proper diagnosis. If the infection is not treated immediately it results in thick nails that may literally crumble away.
Fungal infections are usually caused because of damp surroundings. If you sweat a lot and are constantly in tight shoes, then it is likely that you get a fungal infection. Shoes that are tight and therefore uncomforted can also cause the infection. The infection can spread from one affected toe the next and should be treated without any delay.
An application of tea tree oil is usually beneficial in preventing the spread of the infection. Massage a few drops of the oil on your nails. You can also try mixing the tea tree oil with a little olive oil and use this to massage the affected nails.
