What Is toenail fungus?
Toenail fungus is an infection that gets in through cracks in your nail or cuts in your skin and can make your toenail change color or get thicker. While it may not seem as menacing as an ingrown toenail which pierces the soft skin of the toe, toenail fungus can also hurt. Because toes are often warm and damp, different kinds of fungi and yeast affect different parts of the nail, causing discomfort. Left untreated, an infection could spread to other toenails, skin, or even your fingernails. Since toenail fungus can look like other conditions, including psoriasis, consulting a podiatrist about the condition can help in securing the fastest treatment.
