Fungal Nail Infection Treatment

Fungal nail infections, often caused by common fungi, can lead to thickened, discolored, and brittle nails. Treatment typically includes antifungal medications, which may be topical (applied directly to the nail) or oral (taken by mouth). Topical treatments are useful for mild infections, while oral medications are usually more effective for severe cases. Additionally, maintaining good foot hygiene and keeping nails trimmed can help prevent further issues. Depending on the severity, treatment can take several weeks to months, and it’s important to follow a healthcare provider’s advice for the best outcome.
