Discoloured and damaged toenails can indicate various underlying issues, including fungal infections and nail trauma. Yellowing, thickening, or crumbling nails may suggest fungal involvement, while discoloration and deformities could result from trauma or conditions like psoriasis or eczema.
It's crucial to consult a podiatrist for proper diagnosis and treatment. We can perform a thorough examination to identify the cause.
Treatment
Treatment options may include topical or oral antifungal medications, nail debridement, or corrective measures like orthotics. Addressing the underlying cause is essential for effective management and preventing recurrence. Additionally, our podiatrists can provide guidance on proper foot care practices and preventive measures to maintain nail health.
Seeking prompt attention ensures comprehensive care and improves the chances of restoring the appearance and function of damaged toenails.
