About 3 in 100 people in the UK will have a fungal nail infection at some stage of their life. Toenails are more commonly affected than fingernails. It is more common in people over 55, and in younger people who share communal showers, such as swimmers or athletes. The nails may become discoloured, thickened, brittle, painful or crumbly.
Nail issues may not always be caused by a fungal infection, there are many other reasons why nails may change in their appearance.
It is best practice to see Cannock Chiropodist and Podiatrist Fiona McGeough for information and treatment.
