Nail Fungus Q & A<\/h4>\n
\n

What causes nail fungus?<\/h2>\n

Any number of common infections that thrive in dark, moist, and warm environments can cause nail fungus. They\u2019re common among people who have a weakened immune system from chronic conditions like diabetes.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInDown”]<\/p>\n

\n

What are the treatments for nail fungus?<\/h2>\n

The type and severity of nail fungus often determines the treatment Dr. Griffin recommends. In many cases, topical or oral antifungal medications can effectively treat your condition. In some circumstances, both may be needed.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want to take oral medication or are looking for a quicker solution, Dr. Griffin can perform specialized laser treatments or permanent nail removal.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

What is athlete\u2019s foot?<\/h2>\n

Athlete\u2019s foot is one of the most common fungal conditions. Instead of attacking your toenails, this fungal infection affects your foot\u2019s skin. It\u2019s often seen between the toes or on the soles of your feet and is known to cause burning and itching.<\/p>\n

Athlete\u2019s foot is highly contagious and is often contracted by walking in a contaminated area, such as a locker room or community shower, in your bare feet. In most cases, Dr. Griffin recommends a prescription or over-the-counter topical antifungal treatment. Depending on the severity of your athlete\u2019s foot, he may suggest oral medication as well. If you have athlete’s foot together with a nail fungus infection, you will need both treatments.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Can nail fungus be prevented?<\/h2>\n

Once your nail fungus is gone, it\u2019s time to prevent future infections. The easiest and most effective prevention involves creating a foot environment that doesn\u2019t support fungal growth. That includes things like:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Keeping your feet clean and dry<\/li>\n
  • Using foot powder<\/li>\n
  • Wearing cotton socks<\/li>\n
  • Changing socks throughout the day<\/li>\n
  • Wearing shoes that allow for air circulation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It\u2019s also important to reduce exposure to possible toe fungus. Wearing shoes in public places can protect you from future infections, as can not sharing toenail clippers or scissors with others.<\/p>\n

    In some cases, Dr. Griffin may suggest using an over-the-counter antifungal cream every night for a period of time, even if there are no signs of an infection.<\/p>\n

    If you have signs of nail fungus, don\u2019t wait. These infections strengthen and become harder to eliminate the longer they persist. Find a solution with Dr. Joe Griffin. Call Coastal Foot Center today to schedule your appointment or book it online now.<\/p><\/div>\n
