Thickened toenails, often overlooked, can signal underlying health issues such as fungal infections, injuries, or conditions like diabetes and psoriasis. Fungi thrive in damp conditions, leading to infections like onychomycosis and onychauxis, which cause symptoms like discoloration, brittleness, and foul odors. If untreated, complications like tissue damage, nail loss, and infections that spread to other areas can occur, possibly leading to serious conditions like cellulitis or sepsis. Treatment is challenging, requiring antifungal creams, home remedies, or in severe cases, oral medication or laser therapy. Prevention involves proper foot hygiene, regular nail trimming, and keeping feet dry. Infected nails may take up to a year to recover fully. Seeking early treatment is key to avoiding complications and maintaining foot health.
