Toe fungus can be devastating. Not only can it destroy nails, unhealthy nails are ugly and embarrassing. But what often happens when people find they have toenail fungus? Most of the time they don't seek a toenail fungus treatment on time.
Hiding Nail Fungus Is Not the Answer
Here's what many nail fungus victims do.
1. They notice their nail doesn't look as healthy as before (whether toenail or finger nail) but they ignore it thinking it's not serious.
2. They notice a definite thickening of their nail.
3. Their fingernail becomes yellow... and they cover it up with nail polish to hide it.
4. The toenail starts showing more symptoms... they look for more ways to hide their feet.
5. They stop wearing open shoes because their toenail looks ugly and they feel ashamed.
6. They refuse invitations to summer beach parties, because that would mean wearing sandals.
7. They stop wearing sandals in summer, keeping to closed shoes so they don't have to show their nails.
8. They hide their fungus infected nails from their family as best they can.
9. They log on to the Internet in the hope of finding others who have the same symptoms.
10. They find a list of "home remedies" listed for curing nail fungus. It's confusing, (bleach and peroxide sound dangerous) but they pick a few to try out at home.
11. They hold off going to a health care practitioner because they've heard that home remedies work for a fungus infection.
12. They try several of the home remedies. Some appear to work. They stop the home remedies and try something else.
13. With no improvement in sight they visit a foot doctor or other health practitioner. It's become too painful to wear shoes and to walk.
14. They are prescribed a natural treatment and use it for a few weeks, even months. The toenail fungus is almost gone and they are relieved.
15. They stop the treatment...after all there's a month's supply left to go and the toe fungus looks like it's gone, their nail looks healthy.
16. One day they note the toenail fungus is back in full force... and they despair.
Many victims of nail fungus do see a doctor as soon as they think they have an infection. But too many toenail fungus victims, hide their symptoms, fail to get them diagnosed, suffer in silence, try all sorts of "home remedies" and fail to follow through when prescribed a treatment. If you can say "this is me" to any of the above commit to change - and get cured.
