Nail fungus, take regular treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have seen the attached pictures . You surely have a fungal infection of the toe nails .
You need to apply some topical antifungal agent like lotrimin af or lamisil over the affected nails regularly.
Avoid wearing close footwear as much as possible.
Do not apply any other cream or oil over feet.
In many patients, nail fungus responds to only topical treatment . In others, oral antifungals might be required as well.
