Hygiene and sweating

A good foot hygiene regime can help in preventing fungal infections afflicting the foot, including fungal toenail infections. This includes:

• Regular cleaning of the feet and scrubbing of the toes.
• Stopping the feet from getting too moist or sweaty. If you do suffer from sweaty feet, then you may like to try one of our treatments for Sweaty Feet.

Related conditions

If you are suffering from a fungal infection of the skin around the toes, such as athlete's foot, then it is important to treat the infection before it spreads to the nails.

Out and about

It is important to keep your feet away from moist or communal areas where you are likely to pick up a fungal nail infection. This includes the areas around swimming pools, or the changing rooms at the gym. In this case, it is better to wear flipflops or other footwear, which is also good for your general foot hygiene and will help prevent you from catching warts or veruccas too.

Preventative treatments

Using a treatment such as Curanail will help clear up fungal nail infections, but to maintain good nail health, and to help stop fungal nail infections from appearing in the future, you may like to use a preventative treatment such as Neem Care Oil, which has a mild antifungal action, to help keep potential infections at bay. You may also like to try a toenail conditioner such as Scholl Toenail Conditioner.
