Whenever you experience some itchiness in your foot or especially your toe, then do not ignore it as something common. It could be possible that you must have got a fungal toe nail infection. This infection is more common in sportsmen but not necessarily, as it may happen to you and me as well, due to many reasons
The fungi start developing on your toe nails and could make them brittle and discolored. In the initial stages, you may not feel much pain but it may become painful later on. Initially, you would just find a discolored toenail and would experience bad smell.
To prevent this infection from happening, just make sure that you wash your hands and feet after visiting public places. Wash you feet even if you are wearing shoes. You should also make it a point to wear clean socks every time. If you are in the habit of not washing your socks regularly, then please change it! Do not share towels, handkerchiefs or any other material of somebody who has already got this infection. (more…)
