Toenail Problems

There are a number of conditions that affect the toenails and cause them to be discolored, ingrown, or even painful. Nail fungus, white toenails, yellow toenails, ingrown toenails, and thickened toenails are some of the more common toenail conditions seen in a podiatrist's office. If you have concerns about your toenails, a podiatrist is best equipped to give you the options to successfully treat the condition.

Most of these problems can be treated with either topical or oral medications, periodic professional nail care, laser treatment, or removal of the painful or otherwise offending portion of the nails.
