Fungal Nail Infections
Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) are a common condition that affect both the appearance and health of the nails. They often develop gradually and can affect one or multiple toenails.
Common signs include:
- Nail discolouration (white, yellow, or brown)
- Nails becoming thicker or harder to trim
- Brittle, crumbly, or uneven nail texture
- Mild discomfort or pressure in footwear
- Surrounding skin becoming itchy, dry, flaky, red, or swollen
Fungal nail infections can be stubborn and may worsen over time if left untreated. They are more common in people with diabetes, reduced circulation, or those who frequently wear enclosed footwear.
Professional treatment helps restore healthy nail growth and reduces the risk of the infection spreading.
