Many people in the early stages mistake nail fungus for an injury or vitamin deficiency, which causes treatment to be delayed. Knowing the exact symptoms from the beginning can help you start treatment on time before the fungus reaches the root of the nail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Visual symptoms<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Possible cause<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Discoloration (yellow, brown, or green)<\/td><td>Fungal accumulation under the nail<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Thickening and hardening of the nail<\/td><td>Fungal growth and keratin production<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Brittleness and flaking<\/td><td>Weakening of the nail structure<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Unpleasant odor<\/td><td>Chronic and resistant infection<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Separation of the nail from the bed<\/td><td>Fungal progression<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the nail is discolored and thickened, there is a 90% chance that it is fungal, but a definitive diagnosis is made with a fungal test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-types-of-nail-fungus-onychomycosis-types\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Nail_Fungus_Onychomycosis_Types\"><\/span>Types of Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis Types)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is not just one type of nail fungus; there are several different types based on where the infection starts, the severity of the infection, and the type of fungal agent. It is important to know the type of nail fungus because each type has a different treatment method \u2014 some respond to topical creams and medications, while others require oral or laser treatment.

When conditions are right for the fungus to grow, these microscopic organisms begin to grow and destroy the nail plate.

The important thing is that treating nail fungus takes time, sometimes months, but the good news is that you can prevent this problem with a few simple habits. Preventing nail fungus means eliminating moisture, reducing contact with contaminated environments, and promoting nail health. If you have a history of nail fungus or a weak immune system, these tips are even more essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Keep your feet dry, especially between your toes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">o Fungus loves moisture; never leave your feet wet after a bath or pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Wear breathable shoes and cotton or antiperspirant socks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">o Tight, plastic shoes are the ideal environment for fungus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Change your socks daily<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">o Especially if your feet sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Avoid sharing shoes in gyms or clubs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">o Shared slippers are one of the main sources of fungus transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Disinfect shoes and shower floor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">o You can use antifungal spray or alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Do not use shared manicure\/pedicure tools<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">o Be sure to take your personal tools or make sure the tools are sterile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. Keep nails short and clean regularly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">o Long nails retain moisture and dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8. Avoid nail extensions or filler polish on weak nails<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">o Nails not breathing = a suitable environment for fungus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9. Strengthen the immune system (enough water, proper nutrition, vitamin D, zinc)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">o Fungus grows more easily in a weak body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10. Use antifungal powder or spray inside shoes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Especially if your daily work is standing or your feet sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-golden-tip\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Golden_tip\"><\/span>Golden tip:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preventing nail fungus means keeping dry and reducing contact with a contaminated environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When should you see a doctor for nail fungus treatment in Shiraz?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Home treatment is not enough if you have the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>More than 50% of the nail surface is involved<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are pain and bad odor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have an underlying disease such as diabetes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summary\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span>Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nail fungus is not a dangerous disease, but it does not heal on its own and is time-consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best treatment for nail fungus in Shiraz is a combination of topical medication + oral solution + hygiene and prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a completely free specialist consultation and to book an in-person appointment with a doctor at Irsa&#8217;s dermatologists\u2019 clinic, contact our experienced consultants by calling the landline numbers listed on the contact us page or by mobile phone and WhatsApp number 00989170626693.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Get your free consultation with Irsa team right here<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WhatsApp: 00989170626693<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email: irsaarabic@gmail.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">www.youtube.com\/@irsaclinic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">www.facebook.com\/irsaclinic<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/en\/blepharoplasty\/\">Upper eyelid blepharoplasty<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/en\/hair-transplant-surgery\/\">The Best Hair Transplant Clinic in Iran<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/irsa.clinic\/en\/skin-mesotherapy\/\">What is Skin Mesotherapy?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div style='text-align:center' class='yasr-auto-insert-visitor'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Onychomycosis is a common infection that occurs on the nails of the hands and especially the feet.
