Wear Shoes

Wear proper shoes in pool and locker areas to avoid nail fungus.

Treat Shoes with Antifungal Products

Sprinkle antifungal powder or spray inside old shoes to stop fungus growth.

Wash Hands & Feet

Wash your hands and feet often. Toenails can get fungus because feet stay damp and warm.

Cut Toenails

Cut your toenails and file the edges smooth. This helps creams or gels get into your nails better.

Follow the treatment

Consult a dermatologist and continue the antifungal treatment as prescribed. Do not miss doses or discontinue the treatment without doctor's advice.
