How to Get Rid of Nail Fungus

ADVERTISEMENT

Keep nails clean and dry: Wash feet regularly and dry thoroughly, especially between toes.

Trim and thin the nails: Clip nails short and file down thickened areas to reduce fungal buildup.

Apply antifungal treatment: Use an antifungal cream or ointment as directed, usually daily for several weeks or months.

Try natural oils: Tea tree oil or oregano oil can be applied with a cotton swab daily to the affected nails to help fight fungus.

Practice good hygiene: Change socks daily and wear breathable shoes to reduce moisture. Use antifungal powder in shoes if needed.

Avoid nail polish and artificial nails: These trap moisture and worsen the infection.

See a doctor if severe: For stubborn infections, prescription oral antifungals may be necessary, typically taken for 6-12 weeks.
