Common causes of toenail fungus are easily explained by Beautiful Laser Nails in Atlanta Georgia. The clinic wants folks to know the root causes of toenail fungus in and out of the home.

Atlanta, United States – January 4, 2019 /PressCable/ —

Atlanta, GA- Beautiful Laser Nails, the number one provider for treating, curing and preventing toenail fungus in Atlanta and surrounding areas all over Georgia wants to help folks understand toenail fungus can happen to anyone and how exactly someone may be infected with toenail fungus.

According to Bill Carter, who owns the toenail fungus removal clinic in Atlanta, our shoes may be the main culprit when it comes to causes of toenail fungus, “Fungi, mold, yeast, and even bacteria not only grow, but thrive in warm, moist, anaerobic environments like our closed toe shoes.” he goes on to explain, ” The most common fungi in human nail infections, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Candida albicans, can easily live in layers of dead skin surrounding the nail (Athlete’s Foot), underneath the nail inside the nail bed, or in the tissue of the nail itself. If there is any type of damage to the nail, it allows an access point for fungi to take up residence on the nail bed and multiply, completely wreaking havoc on the toes and foot itself.”

According to the Atlanta clinic, toenail fungus can be painful, however it is common, especially in those who suffer from diabetes, psoriasis, a weakened immune system, general poor health, and those who smoke cigarettes. These all increase the risk of developing onychomycosis.

Bill also says, a commonly asked question is, “is toenail fungus contagious?” His answer is, yes! Toenail fungus can be spread from one individual to another through sharing shoes, sharing a shower, bed linens, and clipping or filing instruments that have been contaminated with fungus.

Perhaps one of the most common and unsettling method of spreading toenail fungus is through nail shops and salons who perform pedicures, these are especially notorious for spreading fungus, as fungi can even manage to live in the bristles of the nail polish brush.

Despite the fact that toenail fungus is common and easily spreadable, annoying, and definitely painful. Help is here in the form of laser treatments from Bill Carter and his staff at Beautiful Laser Nails in Atlanta, GA.

The clinic encourages anyone seeking treatment for toenail fungus in Atlanta to contact the clinic to find a location near them.
