There are certain types of microorganisms which can get under your nails, causing nail fungal infection. Such infection is called Onychomycosis, and which is often found among people. Infections affecting nails are often caused by Dermatophytes or non-dermatophytic molds, such as Scytalidium Dimidatum. Still the most common type is the Distal and Lateral Subungual Onychomycosis. There is also a certain type of nail fungal infection, associated with AIDS, thus considered to be really dangerous – Proxymal Subungual Onychomycosis. There are some symptoms which occur when you’re suffering from Onychomycosis: your nails become dull, thickened, brittle and fragile. A pain in nail often occurs when fungi start to lift the nail off the nail bed.

The infection will progress, causing the further loss. All of your nails may be affected. Onychomycosis treatment can be performed by surgical means, by taking some oral nail fungus medicine or applying some kind of a topical treatment directly to the infected nails. Surgery is the most effective method, while other treatments provide a long-term solution: you will need to apply them for about six months before seeing any good results. Permanent nail loss is possible as a complication of foot fungal infection, and some procedures of treatment may be painful. The most common instruction of healing fungus with topical treatments is to apply it daily to the affected areas.

Daily remove all the collected debris with the help of a spatula. Usually, you should use a topical treatment for 2-4 weeks before there will be an improvement.

Still, Onychomycosis treatment with a topical solution usually doesn’t remove fungus completely, so a surgery may be required.  In some cases, instead of surgery a long-term treatment with oral medications is recommended. Usually such treatment lasts for up to 6 months during which some side effects of oral nail fungus medicine can be developed.
