Fungal toenails (medically known as onychomycosis) is a condition where the toenails are infected by fungus. It commonly begins as a white or yellow-brown spot under the toenail. As the fungal infection goes deeper, the nail may discolour, thicken and crumble at the edge. This can affect several nails.
Nail fungus can cause discomfort and can spread. Treatment for nail fungus at Podiatry Quest involves sound education on self-care techniques, topical medication, and PACT UV fungal therapy.
Causes and Symptoms:
