About nail fungus
Nail fungus (onychomycosis) causes nails to become thick, yellow or brown, brittle, crumbly or distorted, and sometimes to lift from the nail bed. Toenails are affected more often than fingernails. It is more common with age, diabetes, poor circulation, damp feet, nail injury, athlete’s foot and the use of communal showers and swimming pools. Nails grow slowly, so treatment is slow: antifungal lacquers or tablets (which may need liver monitoring), laser and nail care are options, and recurrences are common. Keep the feet clean and dry, wear cotton socks and breathable shoes, trim the nails straight, do not share nail clippers, and treat athlete’s foot. See a doctor for painful nails, signs of infection, or if you have diabetes or poor circulation. Homeopathic treatment is supportive and individualised.
