Prevention is more important than getting treatment for Toenail Fungus. Fungi is present everywhere and they thrive in warm, dark, moist environments - like the inside of your shoe.

Several factors increase your risk of getting a fungal infection. This includes, having athlete’s foot and wearing the wrong size shoe.

Here are habits can prevent Toenail Fungus:
Clipping toenails correctly - Trim your toenails using sanitized nail clippers or scissors. Cut the nail straight across.
Wear proper-fitting shoes - don't wear shoes that are too tight or too big. Tight shoes cause trauma to the nails, making it susceptible to a fungal infection.
Wear breathable footwear - if your nails have room to breathe, this allows air to circulate around your toes. This keeps your nail dry and less inviting to nail fungus.
Switch shoes from time to time - You shouldn’t wear the same shoe 2 days in a row. Wearing damp shoe increases your risk of getting a toenail fungal infection.
Avoid walking around barefoot in public areas. Protect your toes by wearing flip flops
Disinfect your feet regularly - wash your feet with soap and water then dry them completely
Use antifungal shoe spray to kill the fungus that might be living in your shoes
