Keep nail infections away

-

Toenail fungal infection can sometimes lead to infections that are difficult to treat. a telltale sign of a fungal infection is a noticeable smell that permeates the entire room.

The toenails take on a thickness, making them quite difficult to trim. Colour of the affected toenails become brownish, yellow or black and take on a dull look due to the dirt that had lodged under the nail. The nails are also crumbly and brittle, and the skin around and in between the toes may also be affected. The skin will appear dry and inflamed.

The most common group of fungi that cause toenail infections is dermatophy­tes. The fungi are often found in places such as locker rooms, shower stalls, pools, moist socks and shoes, and they tend to spread easily.

a child should be encouraged to wash his feet and toenails using an anti-bacterial soap every day and completely dry his feet, especially in between the toes.

Sprinkling anti-fungal powder in the child’s shoes is a good preventive measure as well. a child should be protected by proper footwear when using public pools, locker rooms or showers.

The child should not be blamed if he or she becomes infected.
