For The Person Who Has Toenail Fungus
Do you have toenail fungus on one or more of your toes?
- Unsightly yellow nails?
- Are they thickened, brittle, crumbly or ragged?
- Are they distorted in shape and dull with no shine?
- Do you have pain in your toes or a slight foul odor?
These are all classic symptoms of toenail fungus. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to it spreading on you or to others. Fixing these problems is possible with the correct diagnosis and treatment from a qualified podiatrist (foot doctor).
Is toenail fungus stopping you from going barefoot (or just wearing your favorite sandals or flip flops) at the beach or the pool? Is it causing you to be embarrassed to go barefoot around your significant other? Does it cause pain on your toes? When was the last time you went barefoot without thinking about it?
What can be done? There is no shortage of hyped up treatments offering to cure your toenail fungus. Everything from home remedies to oral drugs with major side effects. It’s no wonder that most people are very confused about what works and what doesn’t.
