Our Award-Winning Foot Doctors In Suffolk, North Suffolk & Hampton, VA, Can Help With Your Toenail F
Toenail thickening and discoloration can be caused by many things – psoriasis, injury, lichen planus – but is most commonly caused by Onychomycosis, a fungal infection which can worsen over time. There are predisposing factors such as your general health, shoe type and materials, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), and poor hygiene that make you more likely to develop this infection. Just as you place your bread dough in a warm, dark, moist environment to have the yeast flourish, your feet undergo these same conditions in shoes.
Fungus is everywhere around us. Because of the very common presence of fungus, getting this type of infection may unfortunately be inevitable. As such, toenail fungus is a condition we treat every day at our podiatry offices in Suffolk, North Suffolk, and Hampton, VA.
Since many things can make your toenails look “funky,” an examination by a 1Foot 2Foot foot doctor is recommended. A thorough evaluation and simple nail culture or biopsy prior to any treatment can keep you from wasting time and money treating the wrong problem.
