My hands are in water a lot. I am afraid all the moisture might cause a nail fungus. What should I do?

Water exposure alone should not cause nail fungus. Nail fungus can be prevented with proper application and maintenance of nail extensions. If a nail extension has lifted and you need a quick fix, be certain not to just glue the nail, especially if your hands have been in water. First, use a blow dryer to completely dry under the nail. Then apply an antiseptic nail extension treatment to the exposed area of the nail, which will help prevent nail problems. Finish by applying a nail glue with a special moisture-reducing agent under the lifted area of the nail extension.
