A member asked:
Derm told me i mightve fungus on 1 toenail and prescribed some manicure (no antibiotic). i put it on several times; broken nail fell off and grew into healthy in 2-3 month. so i dont have fungus anymore and cant transmit to others? tired of socks?

Yes, you are free from nail fungus for now. It is very rare you can transmit this problem But wearing socks with frequent washing prevents recurrence because fungus like the humidity in your shoes and you cannot clean your shoes as often. Washing your feet everyday and keep them dry are good preventive measures.
