Fungal Toenails

Overview

Toenail fungus can cause nails to become discolored, thickened, brittle or distorted. Because fungal infections can persist and spread, professional evaluation can help confirm the diagnosis and determine appropriate topical, oral or other treatment options.

When to See a Podiatrist

If you're experiencing persistent pain, swelling, changes in skin or nail appearance, difficulty walking or bearing weight, or a condition that isn't improving with basic home care, it's a good idea to schedule an evaluation. Early assessment often leads to simpler, more conservative treatment options.
