Do your toenails smell like cheese? It can be uncomfortable for you and others. Have your toenail or feet ever smelled like cheese? People sometimes smell cheese smell from their feet when they have toenail fungus. The cause of this smell is a fungus.
Warm Environments for Toenail Fungus
Brevibacteria grows in warm and sweaty areas. Since toes and feet are easy to get sweat in shoes or socks, the number of Brevibacteria can easily grow in your toe. Also, you are likely to get nail fungus along with the cheesy smell because the fungus is also likely to grow in a moist and warm environment.
When you start noticing the bad odor in your toenail, keep your eye on the change in your nail appearance as you may also have a fungal nail infection.
Toenail Fungus Prevention
Prevention of nail fungus is important. First of all, the infection is caused by a microscopic organism called fungi. One way of getting a nail fungus is skin-to-skin contact with people who already have it or other fungal infections on their skin such as Athlete’s foot. Another way of getting fungi in your nails is through objects. You can get nail fungus by walking barefoot in a warm and moist area such as a public pool, or by sharing an infected nail clipper or shoes.
In addition to those conditions above, simply age can be a factor too – older adults are more prone to get fungal nail infections. If you have these conditions above, be extra careful with the fungal nail infection. If you notice any changes in your nails, ask your doctor immediately.
