Spring Prep: Get Your Feet Ready Before Sandal Season
The 3-Month Head Start
Sandal season doesn't announce itself. One day it's 75°F and your friends suggest the pool. If you haven't been fighting your toenail fungus, you're scrambling.
The fix: start in spring. Toenail treatment takes 3-6 months for visible improvement. Starting in March means confidence by June.
The Spring Prep Checklist
Week 1: Assessment
- Count how many nails are affected
- Note the severity — mild discoloration vs. thick, crumbly nails
- If severe or painful, see a dermatologist
Week 2: Start Treatment
- Begin daily CamoToe application — Tolnaftate 1% starts working on the infection immediately
- Trim nails short, file thick surfaces smooth
- If you also have athlete's foot, treat that simultaneously
Month 1-2: Build the Habit
- Daily application becomes automatic — right after brushing teeth
- CamoToe conceals discoloration from day one, so you're already comfortable barefoot at home
Month 3: Early Summer
- New clear nail growth visible at the base
- The discolored portion is growing out
- Between treatment progress and daily concealment, your nails look normal
Spring Foot Maintenance
- Moisturize heels and soles (cracked skin = fungal entry points)
- Replace old shoes — fungal spores live in old footwear
- Buy moisture-wicking socks for the warmer months ahead
- Get a fresh pair of shower sandals for gym season
Start now. Be ready by summer.
