Summer means open shoes—and a sudden awareness of thick, yellow, or discoloured toenails.
How Fungal Nail Infections Develop
Fungus thrives in:
- Hot, sweaty shoes
- Public pools, gyms, change rooms
- Nail salons
Treatment Options
- Prescription topical antifungals – Daktarin, Loceryl, Rejuvenail
- Medicated nail lacquers
- Oral antifungal tablets (high success rate, but come with side effects)
- Podiatric debridement for thinning thick nails
- Preventative hygiene and footwear advice
Because toenails grow slowly, starting treatment early maximises results before sandal season.
