Keeping Nails Dry
Wet toenails can be more prone to the growth of bacteria and fungus. Therefore, it is important to wash them regularly and keep these parts dry. Wear boots to go out during rainy days, in the winter, or if you have to work in wet areas often. If necessary, go for wool or cotton socks to keep your toenails and feet warm and comfortable on cold days. Make sure to change the socks usually to prevent fungus and smells. Damp socks can be an ideal environment for these microorganisms to develop. [8]
