Is toenail fungus contagious?

I can notice black spots on the toenails and it seems as a fungal attack. Although, it is in the initial stages of the infection. Just want to know whether toenail fungus infection is contagious and will it affect my other healthy nails as well if ignored?

Hello, you will be disappointed to know that toenail fungus infection is contagious and the fungus will spread ,develop and grow with in the nail beds of your fingers if ignored or uncared. It is advisable for you to consult your doctors as early as possible to check the infection from spreading any further. Moreover, you should also avoid sharing your personal belongings such as towel, shoes, clippers etc with others as the infection may affect them as well.

Mean while you can also try certain home remedies that involves use of apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil and Listerine solution for soaking your finger nails for at least an hour or so on a regular basis. However, it depends on the severity of infection as to what treatment suits you. But please, never ignore the symptoms as toenail fungus infection is difficult to treat in advanced stages. Alternatively you can try Zetaclear, a natural homeopathic formula for curing toenail fungus.
