damn mate!!! your quite sick!!! you should have went to the doctor at the beginning!!!





But if you want to know a reason and a cure... listen, fungus is always caused because of wet environments, every environment away from the sun and wet enough will be the perfect ground for fungus to sprut, so is the case of the feet, and our blood gives them the needed sustenance.





Solution, 1掳 buy a whole new set of sockets and shoes, trash the ones that you are using, on every shoe a socket put sodium bycarbonate everytime you use them, stop using shoes and sockets for a while, walk with naked feet, and finally put your feet on the sun like 1 to 2 hours per day.What causes nail fungus?
An infection of nail fungus occurs when fungi infect one or more of your nails. A nail fungal infection may begin as a white or yellow spot under the tip of your fingernail or toenail. As the nail fungus spreads deeper into your nail, it may cause your nail to discolor, thicken and develop crumbling edges 鈥?an unsightly and potentially painful problem. These infections usually develop on nails continually exposed to warm, moist environments, such as sweaty shoes or shower floors. Nail fungus isn't the same as athlete's foot, which primarily affects the skin of the feet, but at times the two may coexist and can be caused by the same type of fungus. An infection with nail fungus may be difficult to treat, and infections may recur. But medications are available to help clear up nail fungus.
Toenail fungus caused due to damp areas, contact with others affected


You may get affected by the toenail fungus in damp areas such as public gyms, shower stalls or swimming pools. Toe nail fungus can spread from one toe to another or to other body parts. Athletes and people who give trauma to their toe by wear tight-fitting shoes or tight hosiery are at great risk of toe nail fungus. Other reasons may be abnormal pH level of the skin, not drying off the feet thoroughly after bathing or exercise, and decreased immunity.

Prevention


You can help to prevent toenail fungus by:





* Wearing comfortable well fitting shoes and clean hosiery every day, alllowing your shoes to dry thouroughly between wearings


* Wearing shower shoes, sandals or flip-flops in community showers or locker rooms


* Washing your feet daily, dry thoroughly and using a good-quality foot powder (talcum)


* Keeping toenails trimmed


* Avoid applying layers of nail polish
definitely you need to get rid of fungus!





for me worked very well ZetaClear!Nail fungus is tough to treat. The extracts in Zetaclear provide the most powerful therapeutic effect for healthy looking nails.





Obviously, you can't spray herbicide on your feet or hands! The next best thing is Zetaclear. It's made from all-natural homeopathic ingredients. This product works time after time and results are guaranteed. This extra strength solution is designed to be as aggressive and strong as possible, without causing irritation.





It worked fast and still works for me!





I do not know if any pharmacies carry ZetaClear but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.zetaclear.com/?aid=749165
Commonly, fungus anywhere on the foot is caught from a shower you use or used. But not necessarily. In summer, or in certain areas year-round, people wear sandals or flip-flops and they can pick up fungus from just walking around. Once they get it, and they put on shoes, the shoes can get infected with it. Then they put those shoes on again, and pick up the fungus again.
Go to the doctor or chemist and get an anti-fungal treatment, it spreads and you definitely don't want that





I think it can spread if you haven't got adequate footwear on, you need to let your feet breathe, when you wash them, dry them carefully and even possibly go without socks round your house so lots of air is getting to them but really, get them treated first.





Hope it clears up soon :)
it could be athlete's foot, a condition where fungus is around your toes. Other than that, bad hygiene in the feet region. Don't splash around in the soapy water in the shower, spend that extra minute and scrub them.


Bobba Fett I think had nail fungus, chewbacca had fleas.
It's a fungus that grows everywhere. It likes warm, dark, moist places to grow, and the inside of a shoe is ideal for it. You may have got it in a locker room or bathroom, or if someone else wore your shoes, or just by going barefoot somewhere.
I had the same problem. The causes of this is poor hygiene, abnormal pH level in the skin, trauma to the nail. Wearing nail polish could encourage the fungal growth.
the lamasil monster.
Its because the fungi went on your socks and then when you washed/re wore the socks on your other foot, the fungi went on that new toe. Get some antibiotics for it.
Yucky, you need to get treatment quick. You need to wash your feet,


and take good care of your toe nails.
You not taking enough showers. You should shower at least 1x per day. If you did that, you wouldn't have fungus issues.
probably athletes foot -_- if you like play sports or something and you sweet a lot? idk
maybe cause you did the doctor.
diabetes ?
