Nail discoloration which ranges from green, white, brown or black toenails is caused by toenail fungus in most cases. This condition is caused by the keratin debris which is lodged anywhere between the nail bed and the nail. If you’re having white toenails, yellow toenails, brown/green toenails or black toenails without any other symptoms, you should know that you’re lucky because you find the toenail infection before it spreads! Toenail fungus can really cause severe damage to your nails. As the infection is progressing, your nail can thicken, turn crumbly/brittle and actually separate from your nail bed therefore leading to permanent damage. What is more, it might cause some severe pain as well as emit a foul odor.
There are a lot of people using Listerine to treat toenail fungus. However there is no guarantee that this can work for you. In fact, it does not work for everybody and there is no published study indicating the effectiveness of using this mouthwash for toenail fungus. However, it is surely far more affordable than prescription drugs to use.
