Nails are seen in pink or white colors.
There are other colors that adorn our nails when we apply nail polish.
These natural colors as pink and white indicate if the skin is attached to our nails.
Fungus affects toenails in large numbers more than fingernails.
You can determine fungus in fingernails through appearance itself.
Symptoms: Nails have keratin, a component that aids in protective coating which is eaten away by this fungus when the nails get infected.
Keratin may get over produced by such infection.
We shall see herein the symptoms:

1. Discoloration is one symptom where the nails become yellow, brown or purple when the fungus present in the edge of the nail protrudes until the root.
   
2. White or black scraps appear on nails due to fungal infection.
   This way it is hard to find when the scraps are white leading to the growth of infection.
   
3. Nails grow thick making it difficult even to cut them.
   Fungus grows behind the nails making them thick.
   Even it seems hard to wear your socks and shoes causing pain.
   
4. Nails peel, become brittle, and appear as chipped when they are infected by fungus.
   
5. Fungus has a larger chance with wet surfaces.
   If your fingers remain wet all day and also give a bad smell it is an indication of infection.
   
6. Pus may get collected because of growth of small bumps below the nails which is one another indication of infection.
   
7. Nails always shine but if you don`t see the shine it`s probable because of infection.
   
8. As seen above keratin over production detaches your nail from your finger indicating infection.
   
9. Yellow color appears in the beginning stage of infection.
   If it`s worsened you can see yellow powders beneath your nails.
   

Fungus cures for fingernails:

1. Apart from cures one preventive measure is to maintain dryness of your hands and fingers.
   You can cover your fingers with gloves and dry your hands often from sweat.
   
2. Sunlight radiation kills the fungus and also keeps your fingers dry.
   
3. As fungus grows in dark having nail polish when you already have infection will worsen the situation.
   You can varnish after recovery.
   
4. Apply vinegar in small drops inside your nails and leave it to get absorbed.
   Mix vinegar with hydrogen peroxide in same proportion in a bowl.
   Dip your fingers for about 45 minutes.
   
5. Bleach offers solution with side-effect of burning the skin.
   If you can one problem for solving another try it.
   
6. Oils both Lavender and Olive are used to treat finger nail infections.
   You can dip your hands in these oils individually or on a combination of both.
   
7. Neem oil is more essentially an aid for bacterial and fungal infections.
   
8. Dusting powders can be used to remove infections from shoes and socks that you use on a daily basis.
   Wearing them all day long risks your toenails from having fungus.
   
9. Exposure to sunlight also invites you to cut your finger nails extending beyond your finger.
   
10. Last but not least your doctor can provide your good treatment.
    Do not treat yourself from any information which may cause damage.
    

Prevention is better than cure, hence prevent yourself from fungus.
