Defining Toenail Fungus and Its Impact
Toenail fungus, medically known as onychomycosis, is a common but serious condition caused by fungal organisms that infect the nail bed. Over time, it can lead to thickened, discolored, brittle, or even separated nails. If left untreated, the infection can worsen, spreading to other toes and increasing the risk of further complications, particularly in children, athletes, and older adults. We treat patients of all ages and help restore not only nail health but also comfort and confidence.
