Have you noticed a yellow discoloration in one or more of your toenails? Is the toenail thicker and harder to trim than usual?  Is the nail starting to thicken, making it uncomfortable to wear your everyday shoes? If so, then you could be dealing with a nail fungus. Toenail fungus develops when the toenails have been in moist or wet environments and did not receive proper care afterward. For instance, areas such as communal showers can often be a breeding ground for fungus. Because of this, athletes can be more prone to developing fungal toenails. This is a common problem that occurs more often in older adults. Nail fungus isn’t just a cosmetic problem and can result in lasting issues for the affected toenails without the right treatment.
