Toe Nail Fungus

Nail Fungus Infection (onychomycosis) - Brief Overview:
Both fingernails and toenails can be affected, although toenail fungus is usually more common.

Symptoms: Infected nails can start off with just a small spot that can then take over the whole nail. An infected nail can become thick, yellow or dark and can even get "crumbly".

What Causes a Fungal Infection: The fungi (sometimes the same as causes athlete's foot) will "colonize" body parts like hair, nails and skin that are made of keratin. In some cases, a yeast infection may take hold.

Some Things that Increase Risk of Nail Infections: Infections can be more common in nails that may already be in a weakened state (an injury to the nail; elderly nails that may be unable to defend against the infection). Also having nails submersed in water for long periods of time or excessive moisture or sweating in the socks or even walking around barefoot in common public areas.

If you think you may have nail fungus or a nail infection you should see a physician and they can take a sample and determine if you do.

Nail Conditions: Onycholysis, Onychodystrophy, Onychomadesis, Onychomycosis, Koilonychia and Subungual Hematoma.

Onycholysis is when the nail separates from the nail bed. This condition can also be associated with trauma, nail fungus, infection or as a reaction, allergy or side effect to nail enhancement products or certain drugs.

Onychodystrophy is a deformation of the nails that can result from cancer chemotherapy. It may include discoloration of the nail (dyschromia).

Onychomadesis is the term for the separation and falling off of a nail from the actual nail bed. This can sometimes be caused by infection, a minor injury to the nail matrix, a systemic illness or even as a reaction to chemotherapy.

Onychomycosis (tinea unguium) is a contageous infection caused by fungus. Thick, discolored, chalky or crumbling nails is often the result. Milder cases are sometimes treated with topical antifungal applications to attempt to avoid the potential side effects of oral medication. Consult with your physician on the best option for you.

Koilonychia is when the nail curves upwards and forms into a spoon shape. This is thought to be caused by iron deficiency. The nail starts to change and become brittle and then changes to the cupped spoon-shape.

Subungual hematoma is when blood pools under the nail. This creates pressure and can often be painful. It may be the result of an injury or repetitive minor injuries (like running in shoes that don't fit properly). Often the pressure is released by drilling or melting a hole in the nail to release the blood.

That's enough "ony" words for tonight.

TOE NAIL FUNGUS!

Okay - haven't been here in a while. Cleared out the old stuff and going to make a point of getting out here frequently. We've been BUSY. We finally have a solution to toenail fungus!!!!

Toe nail fungus is a problem that effects so many people and we heard about it all the time. Estimates range from 10 - 25% of people suffer with some degree to toe nail fungus. We have put our nail expertise into coming up with a non-prescription solution. I'm going to repeat a little info here, but you can always visit: http://www.FlexiNail.com for full information.

The real problem with nail fungus is that it is NOT on the top of the nail – it is IN the nail. Simple topical creams and lotions can’t get through the protective properties of the nail and the thick, yellow or black symptoms of nail fungus that you hate are still there. You may have even considered expensive prescriptions or pills, but were unable to use this route due to liver or other health concerns.

Yet, toenail fungus is such an issue for you that you still haven’t given up and are still searching. Well, we strongly believe your search for a solution is over. FlexiNail Fungus Relief for Toes penetrates the protective coating of the nail to get to the source of that fungus.

We really encourage you to take steps to control this. Thick and discolored, unhealthy-looking nails aren’t just embarrassing, they can hurt as well – especially if caused by an infection. Don’t ignore treatment as nail fungus can spread to other nails or lead to other issues.

We are confident you are going to be very happy you didn’t give up. We are so sure, that just like our regular FlexiNail products, FlexiNail Fungus Relief for Toes comes with our 100 Day Money-Back Guarantee.

If you have a FlexiNail success story - we would love to hear from you. Either write us here, or post a testimonial on the FlexiNail website.
