@straitspodiatry: That thick, yellowed, crumbly toenail you've been ignoring? Yeah, we see you. 👀 Fungal toenail is one of the most common things we see at the clinic, and most people don't realise they have it until it's been there for months. If you've already tried the drops or sprays from the pharmacy, you're not alone. The problem is that most topical treatments struggle to penetrate the nail plate to reach the fungus living underneath. That's why so many people apply them faithfully and still see no improvement. If you still want to give OTC treatments a go, here's one thing that genuinely helps: trim away as much of the affected nail as possible first. Less nail means better product contact with where the infection actually is. But if it keeps coming back, or it's spreading to other toes, there's more that can be done. Follow us for Part 2, where we walk you through how podiatrists actually manage fungal toenail. 🦶 #fungalnail #toenailfungus #podiatrist #nailcare #pedicure
