Fungal infections can cause toenails to become discolored, thickened, or crumbly. For most people this is often seen primarily as a cosmetic condition. If left untreated, though, it can be progressive and nails infected by fungus can become painful and interfere with sensation and walking, or can lead to ingrown nails that cause a serious bacterial infection.
Our podiatrists offer the latest treatments including debridement, topical and oral medications, as well as the recently approved laser treatment.
