Toenail fungus is very common, and probably a lot more common than you think. By some estimates, up to 10% of the population has the fungus under toenail at any one time and some 50% of all people will have the disease at sometime during their lives. While this may help you to feel as if you are not alone in your suffering it should also tell you something else. Since fungus under the toenail is passed from person to person in certain situations then you should always be on guard for the possibility that you are going to be infected at some point. If you are suffering from fungus under the toenail then here are some things that you can do to help to alleviate the problem. Of course most people see a doctor and get a antifungal prescription, and this has helped many, but I generally am concerned about taking any pharmaceutical product as the side effects are sometimes worse than the disease that they are treating. Make sure that you are wearing absorbent socks as well as breathable shoes in order to retard the fungus and keep it from spreading as readily. If you wear polish on your toenails then you should discontinue it because the darker environment (and the lack of ability for your toenail bed to breathe) provides a good place for fungus to grow. You should also avoid sharing towels with others and wear sandals or swim shoes when in a public place such as at a spa or a pool in order to keep from picking up additional fungus spores.
