Fungal nails are generally not a painful or debilitating condition, but those who have this fungal infection would agree it is unsightly and hard to get rid of.
Nails can appear brittle, thickened and discoloured.  In some cases, an odour is detected.

If just one or a few nails appear to have a fungal infection, it is important to try and prevent the spread to unaffected nails.  If you are caring for your own nail care, avoid cutting affected nails and unaffected nails with the same nail clipper.

There are options available to treat the fungal infection, ranging from conservative to aggressive.  Options include topical antifungals, laser nail treatment, oral antifungals (prescribed by your family doctor), or in some severe cases, surgery.
