Summary
Nail fungus infections are mostly caused by so-called dermatophytes, which can stay and multiply especially in humid, warm areas. It is the spores that can then settle on the nail bed and can lead to annoying infections. Especially in swimming pools and saunas there is an increased risk of infection.
Indications of a nail fungus infection can be a sudden discoloration of the nail, a thickening, and a crumbling and breaking of the nail. Furthermore, nail stability also indicates a fungal infection. Numerous chemical agents for application are available in the pharmacy to treat a nail fungus.
Vinegar destroys the basic milieu of the fungus and lets it die. For fungi that are difficult to treat, a new type of laser treatment can be applied, which evaporates the nail and thus destroys the fungus underneath.
