Guidelines To Relieve The Toes Of Unsightly And Unhealthy Fungus

13632334Many people who play sports or work extremely long hours lay themselves open to a particularly bad disease of the foot that is notoriously hard to be rid of.  At the Long Island laser fungal toenail center, they have discovered a way to cure this disease in less than one hour.

Toenail fungus laser treatment (see here best alternative) consist of just shining a light on the nail-bed to kill off the spores that will keep growing if not killed. Of course, it is not easy for anyone to admit that they have a problem at all.  Very often they will just make excuses about why they do not want to swim today, or why they cannot go barefoot when walking on the beach etc.

But more often than not it is because they are ashamed or embarrassed to show this ugly infection to other people, including their family. But the effect of keeping shoes on all day, and through the evening, is what begins the problem which turns into something quite nasty if not sorted out.  Sweating throughout the day gives just the right environment for spores to multiply and spread to adjoining toes which eventually become extremely unsightly.

It is advisable, where possible, to only wear natural fibers at all times.  Cotton and leather are both acceptable, as well as the new ‘breathable’ style fabrics to let out any sweat build up.  Also using specific powders which athletes use or the ones which discourage spore growth will help in some cases.

Of course, in the ideal world we would be walking barefoot no matter what the weather.  At the very least we should try to change shoes at least once a day to give the feet time to breathe.  Another good idea is not to wear the same shoes continuously for days on end.  This gives the shoes worn the previous day a chance to recover from the punishment.

Moisture is what these spores need to survive so when taking part in sports that makes the person sweat is where the problem can begin.  Wet changing room floors; coming from swimming and not drying the feet properly; both are prime examples of the cause of this disease. Once the problem is there, then visiting one of these clinics which offer the light treatment is advised in all cases.

Special lights are shone through the nail onto the nail-bed where it will do the work and finish off the spores.  It only takes about half an hour and is painless. Most people will find that they will not have the problem again.  Those who have commented on the feeling say that it is a kind of warming sensation or a pin prick.  Either one is not uncomfortable so having this work done is as easy as booking an appointment to sort out the problem.

It surely must be better than painting on all kinds of toxic chemicals onto the feet which can be a bit messy to say the least.  Liver and kidney damage can occur after some time.
