The sign of healthy nail is pinkish in color and crystal clear. You can easily detect finger nail fungus by some of the symptoms like yellow or brown color of finger nail, softening and thickening of fingernails. Fungus basically grows in moist and damp area, so it’s better to avoid nail polish during infection because it can easily trap moisture within the nail which can exacerbate the infection.

People whose hands are continuously wet can easily get infected by fingernail fungus. If your finger nail color is blackish from a long time that cannot be removed by any solution or cleanser then no doubt it is fungus. If your parents had been suffering from finger nail fungus then the chances of your suffering from the same disease are high. It easily spreads to other fingers as the fungus is highly infectious.

Finger nail fungus is easily curable and can be cured by natural home remedies. The tea tree oil is highly recommended because of its antifungal power. By applying tea tree oil directly on nails daily will help to cure the infection.
