Toenail fungus is completely nasty and unfortunately with the new strands that our out today, it is even harder to remove it. Luckily though, there are tons of things you can try. Always follow these tips to help protect against foot fungus, and how to remove it all together.

For toe nail fungus protection: 

  • Wear footwear out in public areas - always wear footwear in public places like showers and bathrooms. This is one of the worst places for foot fungus. Always wear shoes when outside if possible.
  • Don't wear socks when you sleep - sweaty socks are teaming with bacteria. Always take them off when you go to sleep at night.

For the removal of nail fungus:

  • Cut toenails as low as possible - Trim your toe-nails down as low as you can without hurting or cutting too close to the sensative skin area.
  • Then soak in vinegar - Vinegar works to cure acute nail fungus infections. However, it won't work on heavier infections as vinegar won't be able to make it to the root of your nail fungus infection.
  • Try Listerine foot baths - Sometimes vinegar won't work depending on the strand of foot fungus. I have heard from a  lot of people that listerine foot baths work well - however keep in mind for any foot bath you need to soak your feet in there for at least 20-30 minutes/day for a number of weeks.

 

If you have a heavier nail fungus infection, home remedies aren't enough - If you think you have a heavier infection, check out my resource box below for a good solution.

If vinegar and Listerine doesn't cure a foot infection, there are other methods available. You could check out a special Toenail Fungus Method that was recommended by a Podiatrist as an alternative to taking Anti-Fungal Pills.
