Onychomycosis or nail fungus is a common and contagious nail disease. It is characterized by the development of fungi that feed on the keratin of the nail. Clinically, the nail begins to peel off at one edge, thicken and whiten. The nail yellows, becomes opaque and crumbles, it becomes soft and crumbly.

The fungi responsible for onychomycosis are dermatophytes (90%) or yeasts and more rarely molds. Contamination occurs via wet floors in public places, towels and bath mats, pedicure instruments which have themselves been contaminated by a sick person. Humidity promotes the proliferation of fungi, especially in sports or safety shoes.

In order to prevent nail fungus, a few precautions must be observed:

• avoid walking barefoot on wet floors in public places (wear sandals or slippers)
• do not share towels
• dry your feet properly and use an antiperspirant treatment in case of excessive sweating
• preferably wear cotton socks and leather shoes
• wash clothes that have been in contact with the fungus at 60°, there are anti-fungal laundry products.
• pass the pedicure kits with alcohol at 70° after use

In addition to the above precautions, we should use the foot care products to take care of them regularly, such as removing excess dead skin with a pumice stone; using the nail flies to polish and shape your nails…If you still want to look for the other products, recommend you just click this link!
