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.
