Fungal nail infection

Over time, nails can discolour and thicken. While there is often no obvious cause, the nails can become infected.

Chiropodists and doctors usually deal with this condition and may test nail trimmings for fungus in the foot's skin tissue. The treatment usually involves prescribing anti-fungal medicines and ointments.
