Most fungal nail infections are caused by athletes foot of the skin. These fungi often live harmlessly on our skin, but can lead to infection. Fungal nail infections typically exhibit changes in the nail plate color, such as white, black, yellow, or brown, accompanied by thickening and distortion, potentially leading to discomfort from pressure if the nail has thickened.
Moreover, symptoms may include brittle or crumbly nails and irritated, cracked, red, and swollen skin in the surrounding area. Seeking advice early is crucial, as fungal nail infections become increasingly difficult to treat with time.
Various treatments are available for fungal toenails, including oral medication and the application of topical anti-fungal treatments. We'll evaluate the severity of your infection to determine the most suitable approach for you.
