How Do You Treat Toes With Fungus Under The Toenail?
Our feet, by virtue of the job they do, the socks and shoes we wear, and their constant sweating, are in danger of developing fungus around the toes and under the toenails. Here are a few steps to treat and prevent this common occurrence. Clip your toe nails, making sure you do not cut them too low. Soak your feet in a tub with rock salt for at least 15 minutes. This will help to keep your feet soft and healthy and should be done to prevent fungus from growing. If you do not have a soaking tub, use a cake pan or a plastic bowl of any kind. Soak your toes in bleach. While this sounds harsh, bleach is a strong agent that will quickly begin killing the fungus and germs underneath your toes. If you are concerned about the bleach harming your feet, you can add bleach to water or use a cotton swab to dab it over the infected area, but make sure you get a generous amount onto your toes. Soak your toes every night until the condition disappears. If it does not, you may want to see your doctor.
