What causes nail fungus?

Nail fungus diseases are more common in toe nails and most of the adults suffer from this disease. It is caused by a group of fungi which is called as microscopic organisms and dermatophytes. These fungi enter into nail skin through tiny cuts. Then it starts growing when nails have a warm and wet surface. Wet / warm legs, wearing socks most of the time, not covering legs in wet public places, wearing tight foot wears, diabetes, weak immune system, injured nails or skin and genetics are the main reasons for nail fungus diseases.
Nail fungus could be healed by following a proper nail fungus treatment. Your physician might prescribe antifungal drugs. But this medication depends on your health condition. Antifungal drugs aren’t suitable for the patients who are suffering from liver damage and heart failures. The next medication would be to use antifungal cream or liquid. If these medications didn’t answer, the final option would be the nail removal surgery. Don’t worry this is not painful and once you are done with it, you will get new nails back.
