Those who have nail fungus believe that they must dispose of their shoes after treating their nails.

You may do this by purchasing a shoe sanitizing spray. There are several brand options available either in drugstores/pharmacies or online. Another option if you wear closed-toed shoes is by changing your socks often to a fresh new pair, and by fresh new pair I mean a clean pair of socks that have been freshly washed or even a brand new pair work fine. Another solution to preventing nail fungus is by applying antifungal cream to your skin. “But what if i don’t have fungus on my feet or toes?” The answer is that you do not need to have fungus on your skin or toes to develop a nail fungus or to prevent from one. Often times the fungal spores live in the tissues of your skin and do not necessarily form a fungus on the skin or toes, but for one reason or another, develop on your nails because your nails could be more susceptible to fungus. Thus, the antifungal cream can block fungal agents from developing and spreading to your nails. Finally, there are lacquers available that help prevent nail fungus and serve as a protective shield for the nails and the surrounding skin. By applying this oil based lacquer you are protecting your nails from possible reinfection and helping treat nail fungus period.
