I have fingernail fungus and I know it can't really be cured but I am worried about it spreading to other nails etc. The only information I can seem to find is for toe nail fungus. Does anyone have any suggestions re preventative treatment for other nails. Thanks

    Use an antifungal cream, for example, Fugacil cream. Most nail fungus can be treated easily with this. If you prefer a more natural remedy, Listerine, baking soda, coconut oil, tea tree oil, and corn meal can be helpful. For prevention, keep your hands dry and clean. Regularly wash your hands with antimicrobial soaps (Dove, Probelle). Avoid nail injuries. Eat foods rich in alcium and vitamin D, such as fish, orange juice, soy milk, etc...
