Living with the Embarrassment of Toenail Fungus

(800) 672-0625

When people become infected with toenail fungus they often worry that other people who notice the fungus will look down on them. When children have toenail fungus, their peers may point, stare, laugh, or even tease them about it. It is for these reasons that people of any age don’t like others seeing their toenail fungus. As a result, it’s common for people with toenail fungus to cover up their feet. Covering up infected feet could actually make the toenail fungus worse.

Although they may not like it, people with toenail fungus should wear open toe shoes and let their feet breathe. Wearing closed toe shoes with cotton socks can cause sweat to build up. Toenail fungal organisms thrive in moist environments so sweat is a place they call home. Flip-flops, sandals, and other similar open toe shoes will help keep sweat from building up around their toes. People might notice the toenail fungus this way, but wearing these shoes can help prevent the toenail fungus from getting much worse.

If you are one of the people who is embarrassed by toenail fungus and keep your toes covered up as a result, the best thing you can do is get your toenail fungus treated. Some people go years without showing others their feet. It may take some time, but getting your toenail fungus treated with one of the many toenail fungus treatment options can help you stop worrying about what other people think about you and your toes.
