Thickened toenails are a common complaint among our patients. As seen above, these are toenails where the nail itself becomes thicker and brittle, and may even start crumbling. They may also have yellow or brown discoloration, and are usually painful when wearing closed-toe shoes. They will also be difficult to cut, due to the thickening.
While prevention is the best cure, early treatment is vital. If you’re having issues with thickened toenails, book a consultation with us today to see what should be done for your situation.
