Toenail Disorders

What are Toenail Disorders?

Ingrown toenails & fungus are two common toenail disorders. Ingrown toenails are nails whose corners or sides dig painfully into the soft tissue of nail grooves, often leading to irritation, redness, and swelling. Toenail fungus is an infection underneath the surface of the nail caused by fungi. The disease is characterized by a progressive change in a toenail’s quality and color.

Common Symptoms and Types of Toenail Disorders

Toenail disorders can encompass a range of conditions affecting the nails of the toes. These disorders can present with symptoms such as discoloration, thickening, pain, or abnormal nail growth. Common toenail issues include fungal infections, ingrown toenails, and trauma-related damage.
