Since fungal nails are usually more resistant and more difficult to treat than Athlete's foot, topical or oral antifungal medications may be prescribed. Permanent nail removal is another possible form of treatment for fungal nails.
After a fungal nail infection has cleared up, you can take steps to prevent the infection from coming back.
- Don't share nail clippers or nail files with others.
- Don't share shoes or socks with others.
- Try not to injure your nail, such as by cutting it too short (trauma to the nail may lead to infections).
- Wear dry cotton socks, and change them two or three times a day if necessary.
- Wear dry shoes that allow air to circulate around your feet (tight, enclosed, moist shoes contribute to fungal toenail infections).
- Wear shower sandals or shower shoes when you are at a public pool or shower.
Prevention
Follow basic foot care guidelines and you more than likely can head off most

At least there's Cool Breeze laser? What does that have to do with the article about foot fungus?

Thanks for your comment. If you've tried everything to keep nail fungus at bay but nothing has worked...if you still have problems with nail fungus, we offer the safest and most effective laser treatment to get rid of uncomfortable and unsightly nail fungus. It'd called..."Coolbreeze" laser. Sorry for any confusion.
