Preventing fungal nail
Keep your toenails short and trim. The correct way to cut or file them is straight across, not in a rounded shape.
When visiting nail salons, bring your own set of accessories. Clippers, files and contribute to spreading fungal infections when not properly sterilized.
Avoid wearing tight-fitting shoes. This can damage the skin barrier between your toenail and the toe and allow fungus to invade.

Changing rooms, public showers and unsterilized equipment in nail salons all put you at increased risk of fungal nail infection.
