Prevent a Fungal Nail Infection

(HealthDay News) -- A fungal infection of the fingernails or toenails can make them hard, brittle and discolored.

To avoid a fungal infection, the American Academy of Family Physicians offers these nail-care suggestions:

• Keep nails trimmed, with thick areas filed down.
• If you have an infection, use different files or cutters on the infected ones to avoid spreading the problem.
• If you have to submerge your hands in water, wear waterproof gloves to keep hands dry.
• Make sure socks are made of 100 percent cotton. Put on a clean pair every day, and change them when socks become damp and sweaty.
• Sprinkle socks with an anti-fungal foot powder, and make sure your toes have plenty of wiggle room inside your shoes.
• Don't walk barefoot in public places, especially in locker rooms.
