Toenail infection can affect people irrespective of age and gender. Few months back my husband got infected with a toenail fungus which took couple of months to heal with the aid of proper medication. Toenail fungal infections are quite contagious and sometimes may turnout to be too complex for effective treatment. My husband had to suffer from a similar infectious toenail fungus few months back.

My husband is an expert swimmer and loves to swim hours under water. Probably due to exposure to wet and moistened atmosphere for a prolong period of time the toe of my husband had somehow managed to get infected with an awful fungal infection. His negligence of the fungal eruption on his left toe in the initial stage led to the progress of the infection to the other four nails of the left feet and also a part of the toenail of the right feet. The nails became patchy and discoursed and eventually gave out an intolerable stinking smell. Since my husband cares little about the curious eyes of passersby, it was me who had to take the initiative to consult a doctor to put an end to such embarrassing situations.

As we had approached a physician for the treatment of the toenail infection, the doctor himself was quite apprehensive even though he had prescribed the best possible remedial ways to treat the toenail infection. By following the suggested treatment for as long as six months, my husband was quite lucky enough to get rid of the fungal infection. The following are the precautions that he was prescribed by the physician.

• Always put upon waterproof shoes in places like public showers and locker rooms as the floors are often contaminated with fungal infections.
• After taking a bath or a swim always make sure to dry your feet
• Wear well absorbent socks or stockings
• Clean and cut short your nails regularly
• Avoid wear and tear of nails
• Avoid wearing non-porous shoes as they will make your feet damp and wet.
• If you have to go to a salon for your monthly manicure or pedicure, make sure the tools used for pedicure are well sterilized. It is always advisable not to borrow or lend equipments like nail files, emery board, nail clippers and such.

You can also check out the following remedial steps to recover your infected toenail.

· One of the most effective ways to treat your infected toenail is to dip it in a basin of warm water and vinegar, preferably apple cider vinegar for at least 20 minutes.

· Tree Tea Oil is also a powerful fungicide and it helps to cure your infected toe effectively.

· Cleaning your toe with a solution of mouthwash like Listerinecan also kill the fungi as it is a very good antiseptic.

· Hydrogen Peroxide (3%) is also a good remedial solution for fungus affected toes. If you find the pure hydrogen peroxide little harsh you may clean your toes in the diluted solution.

· Though not an established fact but Vicks Vaporub does heal your toes to a great extent. It actually stops the growth of the fungi and you are required to continue applying it till the infected nail gets substituted by a new nail.

Another very effective ointment that my husband daily applied in his toes was Zeta Clear. Zeta Clear is a toenail fungus treatment gel which is made up of natural ingredients like Tea Tree Oil, Almond Oil, Undecylenic Acid, Clove Oil and other substances that are effective in fighting against fungal infection. The blend of thelavender, lemongrass oil, and clove oils in Zeta Clear removes the foul stink emitted by the infection.
