Boots Footcare Fungal Nail Treatment Solution is an easy way to treat and prevent fungal nail infection. Fungal nails are caused by a fungus, which belongs to the group of dermatophytes. These fungi have names that usually begin with Trichophyton. Most of the fungal nails are caused by the skin fungus Trichophyton rubrum (70%) or by Trichophyton mentagrophytes (20%). Different fungus, such as the Candida variant, causes the remaining 10%. The fungi feed on ceratine, one of the main substances of your nails.

Preventing fungal nail infections Fungal nail infections can occur when your feet are often warm and damp, for example if you wear trainers all the time and consistently get hot and sweaty feet. They're caused by the growth of fungal spores that make their way between the toenail and the skin underneath the nail bed. The spores feed off the skin or the keratin in the nail.

The Advanced Solution creates an environment in which the fungus is not able to survive or multiply. After one application rapid visible improvement can be seen. You're more likely to get an infection if you wear trainers for a long time and have hot, sweaty feet. You cannot take antifungal tablets if you're pregnant or have certain conditions. They can damage your liver.
