Onychomycosis treatment in Metepec

If you notice that one or more nails change color, thicken, or become brittle, it could be onychomycosis, an infection that is worth having checked to keep it from spreading to other nails.

Onychomycosis is a nail infection caused by fungi, which most frequently affects the toenails.

Frequent symptoms:

• Yellowish, whitish, or spotted nails.
• Thickening, fragility, and separation of the nail from its bed.

Factors that favor it: prolonged moisture, wearing closed shoes, micro-injuries to the nail, and certain health conditions.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the one who studies skin and nail conditions; the podiatrist and the general practitioner can also provide guidance. Since other conditions can look similar, the safest thing is for a professional to confirm the cause before taking any measures.
