Ways to Detect Toenail Fungus
During a toenail fungal infection the nail becomes discolored, thick and sometimes crumbly. These infections can go on for years and sometimes result in a secondary bacterial infection of the toe. Having an toenail fungus infection can result in extreme pain and discomfort. If you think toenail fungus is something you might have, it is important to seek a professional to ensure the infection does not worsen.
During laser treatment, energy from the laser is directed at the cells embedded in the toenail causing the infection and vaporizes them. This treatment does typically provide permanent results that will be visible as the nail grows out.
