Tips on Avoiding a Toenail Fungus

Here are a few tips on how to take care of your nails. First, never share any nail clippers or other nail tools with anyone. The fungus can stay on the nail clippers. Furthermore, it can infect others. Second, always wear slippers or shoes in public places. This includes pools, gyms, hot tubs, hot springs, saunas, and locker rooms. Next, always wear a new pair of socks when putting on new shoes. The fungus can live in shoes where your feet sweat.

Also, make sure nail salons are clean. When removing acrylic nails, do not pull them off. This leads to a traumatic injury. As a result, it makes it vulnerable to getting infected. 

Laser Treatment for a Toenail Fungus in Austin

If you have caught nail fungus, it can be easily treated using the FDA-approved PinPointe laser, which typically only takes one treatment. Other treatments like topical solutions and oral medication are not as effective. Topical solutions have a very low cure rate. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way through the nail bed.  This is because it can lead to liver toxicity. You would need to have consistent blood tests throughout the course of taking the medication.
