What is the best way to get rid of toenail fungus?

Toenail fungus is a common problem that affects around 10% of the population at some point in their lifetime. It is caused by a group of fungi known as dermatophytes, which live off protein and keratin found in the nail bed. The best way to get rid of toenail fungus is to use an antifungal medication prescribed by your doctor. Depending on the severity of your condition, this could be taken orally or applied topically on a daily basis for several months in order to fully eliminate the fungal infection. Together with medication, certain lifestyle changes can be helpful in resolving and preventing fungal infections from recurring, including: keeping feet clean and dry; regularly trimming nails; using footwear made from natural materials such as leather; wearing socks that fit properly; avoiding sharing shoes or personal items such as towels with others; and avoiding damp public areas (such as locker rooms). Taking these steps can help you keep your feet healthy and prevent reinfection from occurring in the future.
