Nail fungus: prevention, symptoms and diagnosis

Although many people think that all thickened nails are caused by a fungus (a fungus of the nails), there are many causes that can cause such thickening. Before we can properly treat your thickened or discolored nails, we first need an accurate diagnosis.

Although most people think thickened nails are caused by a fungal infection, trauma to the nail causing a condition called “nail dystrophy” is actually the most common cause of this disorder. Don’t get treatment for your nails until the underlying cause of your condition is determined.
