What is nail fungus? What causes nail fungus?
Nail Fungus, known as Onychomycosis, is made up of contagious tiny organisms called Tinea Unguium that can infect finger nails and toe nails, by living under the nail. It is not life-threatening, but the fungal infection of the nails can lead to pain and secondary infection, therefore it should always be treated as soon as possible.
Over 60 million people world wide get this fungus. The most common place for the fungus are the toe nails because the socks and shoes keep the toenails moist, dark, and warm, ideal for multiplying.
It can be caught from moist places like a shower and locker/gym room floors, where an infected person with bare feet have been, and also sharing nail files and clippers, that have not be disinfected.
Nail Fungus usually begins with an opaque white or silvery area at the distal edge; the outside edge of a nail. The fungus gradually works its way inward.
The nail can become discolored either a yellow-green or dark yellow-brown. Sometimes white spots are seen and the nails thicken developing abnormal grooves, lines, and tiny punched out holes. There is occasionally mild discomfort, with itchiness, and even pain around the flesh surrounding the nails called cuticles. Bleeding or detachment of the cuticles may occur as well.
Treating the infection can take time, and therefore its best to prevent re-infection. There are special creams available and also herbal natural cures that have very good anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal properties ideal to maintain your skin and nails from fungus again. For more information on Anti-fungal plant extracts and compounds can be found in the Natural Plant Cures ebook below.
