𝑭𝒖𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒍 𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 can occur anywhere on the body. The most common in regards to your feet are athletes foot and fungal nail infections.
Athletes foot can be itchy and red. Blisters and scaly skin are common between the toes. Fungal nail infections can begin with mere discolouration but when left unattended nails can become brittle and thicken. These types of nails can be hard to trim or manage at home.
The best way to avoid fungal infections is to maintain good foot hygiene. Use a deodorant spray in your shoes or on your feet if prone to sweating. Monitor any trauma to your nails. Although it is common for bruising to cause discolouration, when the nail lifts from the skin, it leaves room for infection to take place.
If topical treatments have proved unsuccessful, seek help from your chiropodist/podiatrist. 𝑳𝒖𝒏𝒖𝒍𝒂 𝑳𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒓® is the low-level laser therapy bringing new hope to people suffering from painful, discoloured and disfigured toenails.
