Conclusion

If unattractive fungal nails embarrass you, see your podiatrist to discuss the most effective treatment for your problem. A plethora of options are available from topical medications to oral medications to just getting rid of the nail. To prevent infection and/or reinfection, keep your feet dry and free from injury. Wearing cotton socks will draw moisture away from the feet; changing socks often, and using powder in shoes is also good prevention. With patience and perseverance, you may eventually have fungus-free toenails that you will be proud to display at the beach.
