What Else Causes a Toenail Fungus?
Many people will tell you what a toenail fungus is. “A fungus that effects the nail” The better ones will tell you that it affects the skin as well. The ones that seem to know what they are talking about will characterize it by saying that the fungus is actually a Dermatophyte- a Keratin loving organism. Keratin is a main component of skin and nails. The better known sites will say that it is caused by Tricophytum Rubrum- one of the organisms that cause the problem. The vast majority of sites will actually tell you that it is all to do with your hygiene, sharing socks & shoes and the other run of the mill lines. My site includes all of that, but one thing that most will miss, and I mean a good chunk (professional sites included) is that not all toenail fungus are caused just by those elements alone. The toenail fungus can jump into your nail or onto your skin due to many reasons. The main ones are as follows: 1. Diabetes. This is a huge topic all by itself. But the basics go like this.
