i have an infection around my left toe nail. I exercise everyday at the gym with 45 minutes of walking on treadmill and the eliptical.  could this be the cause?  right now its fairly painful to fast walk but not unbareable.  What can I do at home that will help?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor! No, exercising and walking on treadmill does not cause nail infection. However, keep your foot unhygienic by not washing after sweating might cause fungal infection. Also, try and remember if you had trauma/injury to your toe as it might be a cause of infection. Nevertheless, apply antibacterial and antifungal cream to the affected area and keep it Chat Doctor. Hope this information helps. With warm regards,
