Diet is an important part of prevention as a fungus is difficult to treat and cure. Medications are available, although they can be successful, treatment may be stretched over a long period of time.
Remedies

Symptoms
Since there is no rhyme or reason as to why you may develop such an infection it is best that you know how to identify it if you are one of the unfortunate ones. Your nail will exhibit a small yellow or red dot at its tip. This will be followed by the change of the appearance of the nail. It will thicken with the deposit of the fungus debris under it. It will change in shape, become opaque and dull in color, and have a flakey and ragged appearance.
