Onychogryphosis

When toenails discolour or thicken over time, fungal infections are common. There is usually no obvious cause.

A chiropodist can trim and shape the nail to alleviate pain and discomfort. If this is unsuccessful, we can recommend nail root ablation to remove the nail and prevent the condition returning.
