Can it be possible that Toenail fungus is causing hair loss? Many people who have a nail fungus may notice a loss of hair or hair thinning. This typically occurs in the elderly population. However, the only way hair loss and nail fungus are associated with one another is if the patient’s scalp is showing evidence of a fungal infection. Meaning that the nail fungus has absolutely no inclination of causing hair loss. Unless the scalp has a fungal infection of its own.

Moreover, this typically occurs more in adults age 60 and above and is more common in women than men. If you are someone who has a fingernail fungus, it is important that you treat that as soon as possible. This is to prevent it from spreading to other areas of the body such as the scalp. Although this is uncommon to occur, it is still a possibility and you do not want to be more susceptible to a scalp fungus as a result of carelessness. The quickest and most efficient form of nail fungus removal is laser treatment. The Pinpointe Laser is of the top lasers that will help alleviate this issue in as little as one treatment.

For those who are suffering from hair loss or scalpel fungal infections, you will want to of course contact your doctor and test your thyroid. You may also try over-the-counter treatments such as Rogaine to help promote hair growth. Although this is typically a men’s formula however women can use it as well since it is just a more powerful treatment for men who are balding. Note that this treatment should only be used by women who have surpassed the childbearing age.
