Nail Fungus Prevention
Posted in Knowledge on February 15th, 2009 by admin – Be the first to commentTo help prevent nail fungus and reduce recurrent infections, practice good hand and foot hygiene by following these steps:
* Keep your nails short, dry and clean. Trim nails straight across and file down thickened areas. Thoroughly dry your hands and feet, including between your toes, after bathing.
* Wear appropriate socks. Synthetic socks that wick away moisture may keep your feet dryer than do cotton or wool socks (you can also wear synthetic socks underneath other socks). Change them often, especially if your feet sweat excessively. Take your shoes off occasionally during the day and after exercise. Alternate closed-toe shoes with open-toed shoes.
