While it is possible to treat, nail fungus is tricky to get rid of once you’ve got it. It also has a high return rate. So, how can you take care of it?

There many easy ways to treat and avoid nail fungus; all of these 6 methods you can do at home, or out and about. If you want to speed up your healing time significantly, try the Cure-Ex nail fungus laser treatment, available on Pain Relief Online.

Remember, any method is going to take time, so don’t expect your nail fungus infection to be gone by tomorrow, or even next week. Make sure you follow these methods daily to get the most effective treatment.

Cure-Ex Nail Fungus Laser Treatment

The Cure-Ex is an innovative device that uses low-level laser technology (LLLT) to target the infection deep in the tissue with an infrared laser, and to kill the surface bacteria with a blue light. The Cure-Ex is an at-home treatment that is easy to use,  pain and side-effect free, and treatments are only 7 minutes. Most people find that the infection is healed in a little over 4 weeks when using the Cure-Ex daily. The device can be used either on its own or with other treatments to speed up the healing process.

Hygiene

While it’s untrue that only unkempt people get nail fungus infections, having proper hygiene never hurts. Make sure that you wash your hands and feet often, and dry them thoroughly to keep moisture from getting under the nail. If you have an infection, make sure that you are still cleaning your nails regularly before applying any medicated substance on them. Also, be careful not to touch other nails after handling the infected one, as this can spread the fungus.

Keep your nails short and filed to prevent them from cracking or breaking, as this is an easy way for the fungus to get under the nail. Also, remember to thoroughly clean and nail clippers or files that you use, especially when you have an infection, to avoid reinfection. Using the Cure-Ex even when you don’t have an infection will help strengthen your nails and prevent the infection from recurring.

Nutrition

While changing your diet alone isn’t going to heal your nail fungus, when used with other treatments, it can help heal the infection, and prevent it from coming back. When your body has the right amount of minerals, nutrients, vitamins,  and pH balance, it is able to fight off illnesses and infections easier.

Try cutting down on junk food, and start incorporating more fruit, vegetables, and nuts into your diet. Also take your vitamin intake into account. If you have a vitamin deficiency, it can take your body longer to get better. Make sure that you get enough Vitamin C, Vitamin B5, and Vitamin E.

Sunlight

Sun exposure and air circulation are two things that will naturally help you fight a nail fungus infection. Often the fungus develops when your nails are enclosed in tight, dark spaces, like your shoes, where moisture and bacteria can easily grow. Sunlight will help kill the fungus, hence why light lasers are used for fungus treatment, though in lasers the light is much stronger and will have a quicker effect. Air circulation helps keep the infection from staying moist and lets the healing skin breath.

Wearing Proper Footwear

While keeping your feet free of tight shoes is a way to avoid toenail fungus, going barefoot is an easy way to contract it as well. In the summer, wear open-toe sandals rather going barefoot to keep your feet in contact with sunlight and air, but avoid stepping potential fungal causing bacteria. In the cooler weather, make sure that your shoes fit properly, and that you change your socks regularly.
