Fungal Nails

The area of the toes is generally warm and damp, unfortunately making it a great area for fungus to grow. If left untreated, the fungal infection can spread, which is why it’s so important to get professional help early on and look into your treatment options as well as ways to decrease risk of recurrence.

Fungal infections occur due to fungus getting through the cracks of the toes or cuts in your skin. Common signs that you may have a fungal infection include thicker than normal toenails, oddly shaped toenails, discoloration, a yellowish hue to the nail, and separation of the nail and nail bed. Fungal infections can affect anyone but are most common among men, elderly, those with diabetes, athlete’s foot, or poor circulation. The risk of having toenail fungus will increase with aging, along with family history and poor immune system.

If you believe you’re experiencing a fungal toenail infection, we recommend that you speak with our podiatrist, Dr. Mary K. Benjamin-Swonger in Scottsdale, Arizona as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and suggested plan for treatment. Many treatment options are available. You don’t have to live with ugly toenails.
