What Is Toenail Fungus?

Toenail fungus is an often embarrassing condition characterized by cracked and discolored toenails. Left untreated, nail fungus can lead to pain and discomfort as well as more severe conditions, such as severely ingrown or broken toenails and infections.

What Causes Toenail Fungus?

Toenail fungus is most commonly caused by dermatophyte fungus, as well as by yeast and mold. These microscopic fungi thrive in warm, moist environments and make their way into the body through tiny cuts or breaks in the skin.

Symptoms Of Toenail Fungus

Toenail fungus is typically characterized by nails that are:

• Misshapen
• Thick
• Brittle
• Dull
• Discolored
• Separating from the nail bed
• Surrounded by yellowish, foul-smelling build up

How To Diagnosis Toenail Fungus

Given that other conditions such as psoriasis can mimic the look and symptoms of nail fungus, diagnosis is best made using a lab analysis of scrapings from under the nail in addition to a physical examination.

Non-Surgical Treatment For Toenail Fungus

Toenail fungus can be treated using:

• Antifungal creams, lotions, or nail polish
• Oral medication such as Sporanox or Lamisil
