Fungal infections
This common foot problem can create significant discomfort and disrupt your mobility. Nail fungus is not something to ignore. Proper treatment for a fungal infection can include antifungal medications or foot surgery to remove part of all of the infected nail, depending how severe the infection is.
Toenail fungus causes thick, discolored, or brittle nails and can be stubborn to treat. Options include topical medications, oral antifungal drugs, and laser treatment. Dr. Brad Herbst of Podiatry Associates of Florida San Jose Division can confirm the diagnosis and recommend the most effective option for your case. Early treatment gives you the best chance of clearing the infection and preventing spread.
