Nail spas have become very popular in recent years as many women, and some men, have discovered the cosmetic advantages
of having their nails professionally manicured and pedicured. Well done nails can give someone added confidence in their appearance
and provide the perfect accessory to their wardrobe. However, you should check your favorite nail salon's sanitation practices
carefully before you subject your nails and skin to potential fungal infections.
Is it possible to get "Artificial Nail Fungus" from your nail salon? Many women who get artificial nails put on at their
favorite nail salon discover that they have acquired a nail fungus infection in the process. It is not the artificial nails
that cause the fungal infection, but incomplete sterilization practices of the salon operators. Since artificial nails
will cover up an unsightly "nail rot" infection, people with an existing onychomycosis (nail fungus) condition often go to
nail shops for cosmetic reasons and then unwittingly transmit their infection to the next customer that comes along wanting a pedicure.
Covering up nail rot with artificial nails is not a good idea. The fungus which causes nailrot thrives in damp, dark conditions,
which is why nail fungus is more common on toenails than fingernails. Artificial nails create exactly the dark and damp conditions
on your nails that you do not want. If a nail fungus infection is covered up by artificial nails, it will speed up the
deterioration of the nail and eventually make it so thick and rough that artificial nails can no longer be applied. If you have a nail
fungus infection, it is much better to treat it quickly with an effective topical anti-fungal solution than it is to
try to cover it up.
Once a toenail rot infection starts, it can be very difficult to treat if you delay taking action too long. Doctors can prescribe medicines
to be taken internally which are sometimes effective in curing the infection, but these prescription medications can have serious side
effects, including liver damage. ZetaClear is a non-prescription topical treatment which contains
proven anti-fungal agents. Using it properly may restore your nails to their natural beauty and save you a bundle of money in medical
visits and physical risks from harsh prescriptions in the process.
