Suggest Treatment For Toe Nail Fungal Infection

onychomycosis, diabetes, vascular cause
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
If its indeed a toe nail fungal infection, i.e onychomycosis then topical terbinafine in combination with clotrimazole for two months can be advised. Oral therapy can be initiated with terbinafine if the fungal infection persists or recurs. Fasting blood sugar and HBA1c levels must also be checked to rule out diabetes and associated diabetic neuropathy which can present with such symptoms. Doppler ultrasound of the lower limb including the posterior tibial and dorsal pedal vessels to look for a vascular cause, can be advised if the above causes are ruled out.
Wishing you best of health
