Big, ugly, mistreated … obviously you do not skimp on adjectives to describe (or decry) your toes. Calm down, simply value them and care for them as it should.
This way, you will FINALLY be able to show them in broad daylight, during all the summer!
Ingrown toenails
A nail is embodied when it enters the tissues limiting its lateral edges. It is followed by an inflammatory reaction, then infection in absence of adequate treatment.
It is a condition of toenails, especially the big toe.
According to confirmed podiatrists, simply entrusting his feet to an unconfirmed beautician using old instruments or, put shoes that inhibit the regrowth of nails can be the cause of this problem. To remedy this, a session with a podiatrist is necessary.
The onychomycosis
It is an infection of the nail by a fungus. This disease spreads easily in a wet environment. Besides moisture, this ugly fungus can be caused by local trauma (in the nails) on torn or discolored nails abnormally thick or so dull and broken.
In other words, it is relatively difficult to get rid of it, but it is a disease that can be prevented with minimal hygiene.
Also remember that onychomycosis can be treated topically. The most critical cases should be treated with oral medication. But anyway, choose the tea tree oil, a natural antiseptic, it is always a good solution to avoid the problem persistence.
Contusions
When your toe nail is bruised due to repeated local trauma, it is appropriate to talk about bruises. Unfortunately, there is no medical cure for this boredom. However, if the nail begins to shift and come off, it is recommended to ask your podiatrist to remove it.
The fragility of nails
Your toenails, that’s not the whole foot! They are fragile. They become breakable and dry. Do not worry, the solution is simple: remember to rehydrate your nails, this will give them a little tone. To do this, soak your feet in an antibacterial liquid to avoid any fungus.
However, keep in mind that frailty can also be a sign of a fungus (but not necessarily). But if that is the case, run to your podiatrist.
Thick nails
They are mainly due to fungi, but injury to the nail can also cause it to become thicker as it is being cured. It is not advisable, for example, to kick a football barefooted. If the thickness of the nail is due to an injury, your nail will naturally return to normal once it is completely healed. But if you are impatient, you can use an acid gel to kill bacteria and remove excess layers of the nail.
