have you ever suffered from toe nail fungus and how did you cure it, did it permanently damage the nails?

Update:

I cured mine by rubbing it with Tea Tree oil, but the nail is growing in a deformed manner

    Unfortunately getting an infection in the nail such as a fungal infection can damage the nail matrix (the part where the nail grows from). This means that the nail will not grow normally afterwards and may grow thick or in a thick distorted rams horn sort of shape.

    There are two things you can do, the first is to see a Podiatrist and have the nail drilled to a smooth even level. Although this will not be permanent and it will likely grow back a funny shape within a couple of months. Alternatively if it is causing a problem, you can have the toe nail removed altogether by a Podiatrist.

    basically toe nail fungus is in maximum situations hereditary. in case you do no longer want to take the pills then there is yet another determination (i might choose for the pills individually), besides the fact that it is completely as much as you! you will might desire to get a referral from you well-being practitioner or specially situations it is accomplished at a interior sight surgical technique. They basically Make an incision above the cuticle the place the nerve is and decrease out the contaminated area, it is what's inflicting you nail to boost fungus, as quickly because it is accomplished your nail will boost known and healthy. don't be to scared, maximum those that have this treatment pass residing house very almost today with none issues. the area would be numb from the interior sight anaesthetic and any if any soreness (which could be minimum) might properly be minimised by utilising elementary soreness killers.
