Advanced treatment options for toenail fungus (onychomycosis). From laser therapy to oral medications, we provide effective solutions to restore healthy nails.
Toenail fungus, also known as onychomycosis, is a common fungal infection that affects millions of people. It occurs when fungi infect the nail bed and plate, causing the nail to become thickened, discolored, and brittle. While toenail fungus is primarily a cosmetic concern, it can cause pain and lead to more serious complications if left untreated.
The infection typically starts as a white or yellow spot under the tip of the toenail. As it spreads, the nail can become discolored, thickened, and may crumble at the edge. Toenail fungus is more common in toenails than fingernails because toes are often confined in warm, moist environments that promote fungal growth.
