It's important to understand them and to know what to do in this situation.
Toenail fungus tends to create more complications for those with diabetes or with weakened immune systems. For a person with diabetes, a fungal problem can decrease his blood circulation and nerve supply to the feet. It's very important, therefore, that anyone in these situations takes care of nail fungus immediately.
Here are some of the most common complications among nail fungus patients:
The Spreading of Toenail Fungus
The toenail fungus can very easily spread to the nearby nails. If that occurs, then you may be at an increased risk for developing repeated infections. Additionally, this fungus may become resistant to over-the-counter and prescription treatments.
Foot Ulcer
Foot ulcers are another potential problem that can result from untreated nail fungus. If you have diabetes or another condition that weakens your immune system, then your risk of developing a foot ulcer is even higher. A foot ulcer is an open wound or sore that develops at the sole of your foot. This can create major difficulties with walking, blood circulation and additional complications. They are extremely difficult to treat.
Paronychia
This is a skin condition that develops around the nails. It causes the area around the nails to become red and swollen. It may also cause pus-filled blisters. This condition can potentially spread to the bloodstream, bones and tendons. It can also permanently change the shape of the nails.
Cellulitis
Cellulitis is a skin condition that is caused by bacteria. However, you are at a greater risk for developing it if you have a toenail fungus infection. Fever, inflammation and redness around the skin, fatigue and sweating are some of the common signs of this condition. Cellulitis can potentially be life-threatening.
Do not be content with sitting on the sidelines, watching your fungus take control of your life. Take your infection seriously and give this natural treatment a try. Your feet will thank you for it!
