Nail Fungus – Symptoms & Causes

Nail Polish

While having nail polish can make the toes look more beautiful, it would increase the risk of nail fungus. Heavy polish often blocks light, thus creating an ideal condition for fungal growth. Also, fungi can be transferred through nail clippers and files when you treat yourself to a pedicure. That why you need to make sure that all the tools are cleaned and sanitized thoroughly after each use. In addition, you need to give your nails a break from nail polish on a periodical basis to reduce the risk. [10]
