If a nasty case of toenail fungus or Athlete's foot has made your toes and soles unbearable, try slathering on extra virgin coconut oil every day to help clear up the infection. Not only is coconut oil a natural anti-fungal, it’s incredibly nourishing and hydrating for your feet. You can also squeeze fresh lemons over your toenails to help reduce discoloration and yellow toenails. One thing you shouldn’t do, however, is hide a fungal infection with nail polish. Do your best to clear up your infection first, because trapping the pesky fungus under nail polish is likely to worsen your condition. Plus, using nail polish while you have any type of foot infection can inadvertently contaminate your whole bottle of nail color, meaning you might accidentally reinfect yourself later on.
