Avoiding treatment for nail fungus can make your situation worse. So you’ve tried everything, scoured the deep pages of the web. Also, you have gone from consultation to consultation from podiatrists to dermatologists and still, your nail fungus persists. It may seem like nothing is working.

Most common remedies

You’re at the end of the road, your home remedies aren’t showing much improvement and the constant upkeep is cutting into your valued free time! Laser treatment isn’t covered by insurance and you’re scared for your liver’s health if you go the pill route.

So here you are, soaking your feet in your own personal mixture of tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar, and bleach wondering is it really worth it? Do I have to treat my nail fungus? What happens if I just leave it?

Toenail Fungus Basic Information

Why do treatments not work?

By now I’m sure you know just how difficult nail infections are to treat. Lots of home remedies exist but there’s very little success rate or notable proof that these home remedies even work. With all the side effects, low cure rate, and costly treatments out there it’s no wonder why most people who suffer from nail fungus infections just try to cover up their feet rather than attempt to treat them.

Possible risks of untreated nail fungus

In about one out of two dozen cases the fungus actually travels to other parts of the body which can affect the hands, back, and legs. If you don’t treat your nail fungus infection you’re essentially allowing an organism to live in your nails which can spread. Avoiding treatment for nail fungus can cause other infections.

The fungus can also create cracks and openings on the skin where bacteria can sneak in causing infection. The longer you wait, the harder it is to treat. Be proactive and take action early on!
