Toe Infection Symptoms
There are many toe infection symptoms which can be an indicator of a fungal infection or a bacterial infection. The most important thing is to identify the symptoms and then to treat them as soon as possible in order to prevent the spread of the infection.
Many people suffer from fungal infections, although they may be very mild and not a big cause for concerns, so they do not seek treatment. The main symptoms are:
- The nail becomes much thicker, may split or crumble and it can even separate from the skin surrounding the nail;
- The nail changes color and this could be any number of colors, depending upon the severity of the infection, including yellow, white, grey, brown or black.
- A build up of fragments of nail and skin under the nail and around the nail;
- The nails becomes powdery on the surface.
These toe infection symptoms are disconcerting enough; however, if you notice any pus or redness, puffiness, swelling or pain, you have a very serious infection and you should go to the nearest medical clinic immediately.
There are a few common types of fungal nail infections, including Distal subungual onychomycosis which is caused by dermatophytes which affects both the nail as well as the underlying skin. This type of fungus is responsible for about 90% of the toe nail infections.
The next most common infection is white superficial onychomychosis which affects the surface of the nail. It can create white spots or streaking on the surface of the nail, a powdery nail surface with discoloration. The nail does not separate from the skin below the nail.
Certain people are much more susceptible to these kinds of infections, including people who suffer from diabetes, HIV, people with poor circulation, cancer, males, people over 60 years of age and those who take immunosuppressive drugs.
There are some risk factors that you can control and/or eliminate, including:
- Wearing tight or badly fitting shoes;
- Wearing shoes that make your feet sweat;
- Sharing items that you use on your feet, including shoes, socks, clippers, etc.;
- Living in a hot or humid climate;
- Not wearing sandals or flip flops when you use shared showers in a locker room or public pool;
- Having athlete’s foot;
- Being in a job where your hands and feet are constantly wet.
- Wearing artificial nails or nail polish which do not allow air movement beneath your nails.
#1 - Best Nail Fungus Treatment - ZetaClear
#1 Zeta Clear
includes several all natural ingredients including Tea Tree Oil, a well known all natural fungicide that has proven effective against toenail fungal infections. Other ingredients include:
* Almond Oil - is great at soothing dry cracked skin, just like the kind associated with fungal infections.
* Jojoba Oil - is also great for promoting skin health.
* Lemon Grass Oil - Promotes skin and nail health.
This product really has become one of the products of choice for those looking to naturally eliminate their nail fungus. Another reason for this products high rank is it comes with a 90 day money back guarantee. It was a tough decision, but ZetaClear is our top pick because it seemed to bring fast acting results for everyone. While most did see great improvement after just a few short weeks, some took a bit longer. After 3 months of use, not one of our participants had any nail fungus left. Some opted to continue using it beyond 3 months, because ZetaClear was improving the appearance of their nails so much, and they also wanted to be sure the fungus would not come back.

#2 - Best Nail Fungus Treatment - Claripro
#2 Claripro
This was a real surprise to us. We read that certain natural ingredients were effective anti-fungal agents, but we didn't expect a product like Claripro, which is made from only natural ingredients to work so well. While no nail fungus treatment works overnight, most of our participants saw results in about 3-4 weeks.
Claripro is our 2nd choice for nail fungus treatments but could share the top spot with ZetaClear because of its high success rate, and the way it gives users' nails a very clear, shiny, healthy appearance. The Claripro formula is extremely powerful and made from select natural oils. Despite its high potency, it does not irritate the skin. The good news is that you can start to see results in just a few weeks.
Claripro comes in topical (applied to the skin) and oral (spray) homeopathic combo package.

#3 - Best Nail Fungus Treatment - Funginix
#3 Funginix
Rounding out the top 3 is Funginix by Sisquoc Healthcare. This is another natural treatment for nail fungus that got excellent results. However, unlike ZetaClear and Claripro, which both had 100% success rates, Funginix only worked for most of our testers.
This is still very high, but we recommend trying ZetaClear or Claripro before Funginix. Most of our testers saw their nails become very healthy looking and all of the yellow discoloration disappeared.
Many of the testers had killed the fungal infection after 3 months of use. Overall, this is another great nail fungus treatment.
