Symptoms that say you might have Toenail Fungus

Here are some common symptoms people experience when they have a toenail fungus infection. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should visit our nail doctors in one of our many locations.

  • Discoloration of the toenail
    • The most common discoloration is the yellowing of the toenail. Others experience cloudy or white streaks, brown-ish toenails, or even black toenails in severe cases
    • Also, the entire toenail does not need to be discolored. It could be on a portion of your toenail or on half the toenail
  • Thickening of the toenail
    • This makes it difficult to cut your toenails. It is important to maintain your toenails so that you don’t get a toenail fungus infection
    • You can soak your toenails in warm water before cutting them. This makes them soft and easier to cut
  • Brittleness of your toenails
    • Toenails can become weak and brittle. This allows them to crack and grow incorrectly
  • Stinky Odor
    • Some cases of toenail fungus can cause an odor to come off your toenails. This can indicate you have a toenail fungus infection

Laser Treatment for a Toenail Fungus in Troy

Toenail fungus treatments in Trot can vary. If you have caught nail fungus, it can be easily treated using the FDA-approved PinPointe laser, which typically only takes on treatment. Other treatments like topical solutions and oral medication are not as effective. Topical solutions have a very low cure rate. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way through the nail bed.  This is because it can lead to liver toxicity. You would need to have consistent blood tests throughout the course of taking the medication. 

Our nail doctor in Troy, MI recommends this treatment for toenail fungus. The PinPointe Laser treatment has the highest cure rate in the market. It has no side effects and no recovery period. As a result, you can go about your daily activities right after the treatment. Also, there’s no pain.
