What is a fungal nail infection?

A fungal nail infection is the most common nail complaint in the UK, affecting fingernails and toenails. The body normally hosts a variety of microorganisms, including fungi. Although some fungi are useful to the body, others may multiply rapidly and form infections. Fungal nail infections can be painful and many people find them an embarrassing and unsightly problem. If left untreated, the infection can spread to other nails and in severe cases can lead to loss of the nail.

What are the key signs of a nail infection?

• White, yellow or brown discolouration
• Thckening
• Build up of debris under the nail
• Scaliness
• Distorted shape
• Brittleness

What causes fungal nail infections?

Over 90% of fungal nail infections are caused by the same fungus that is responsible for athlete's foot. In the majority of cases, fungal nail infections are secondary to other fungal skin infections. Once nails are infected, the infection can spread to other nails or from person to person, e.g. by using shared towels or from communal bathing areas.

Who gets fungal nail infections?

Anyone can develop fungal nail infections, but there are also certain factors which increase the risk of getting a fungal nail infection, including:

• Old age
• Sports such as running and swimming
• Smoking
• Jobs that involve a person having their hands or feet in water, such as life guards or people washing dishes
• Certain medical conditions such as psoriasis or circulatory problems

How do I know if I have got a fungal nail infection?

Mild fungal nail infections can be easily identified by certain key symptoms. If you look at the picture above this is a typical example of a fungal nail infection. Clearzal is an effective treatment for these mild fungal nail infections and is now available over the counter, which means that most cases can be properly treated without the need to consult a doctor.

What is Clearzal?

ClearZal® BAC is an antimicrobial nail solution that kills 99.9% of the fungus, bacteria and viruses that may cause nail infections. This means it's more effective than an antifungal agent alone as around 50% of nail infections are caused by bacteria, in which case an antifungal agent would be ineffective.

Formulated with a broad spectrum biocidal active, ClearZal® BAC also contains the conditioning properties of Aloe Vera.MClearZal® BAC is ideal for use on toenails and fingernails, and can be used on any number of nails. Because it is applied around the nail as opposed to on the nail, it can be used with all types of artificial nails, nail extensions and nail polish. Each pack contains a 30ml bottle, a dedicated nail file and an information leaflet containing instructions for use.

ClearZal® BAC contains no Lacquer, Harsh Acids or Alcohols - therefore helping keep your nails in top condition.

How does it work?

ClearZal® BAC is applied to the skin around the side of the nail and the free edge it then kills 99.9% of the germs which may cause nail infections.
