Can I wear a fake toe nail on top of my infected toe nail?

Summer is coming up and I love to wear open toed shoes, sadly I have an ugly looking big toe nail due to a fungal infection which will take at least 6 months to cure with medication but in the meantime would it be ok to wear a false nail on top so I can still have my tootsies looking cute for the summertime?????

    To make yourself susceptible to further infection? Yea, great idea.

    Probably not a good idea as the adhesive won't do your infected nail any good. It will be good for your nail, though, to get fresh air and sunshine on it - so go barefoot in your garden and stick to cute pumps when you're out. Stick with the treatment, too. I know 6 months will seem like forever but it really will be worth it. Good luck!

    no i would not advise you to do this as it may cause your toe to become even more infected than it actually is i would advise you to wait until your infection clears up. was this information helpful???

    Yes you can, my mom did that a few years ago and her toe was fine. =)
