How Can A Fungal Infection Around The Toes Be Treated?
starting from a toe fungus the skin around my toes thickened and became very hard with toenail like bumps that seem to be spreading through my upper foot. also have ingrown nails on two to three toes each foot. I tried to trim the thick skin because of discomfort wearing shoes. I could hardly get the (ingrown toenail)scissors through the skin and under the hard part underneath. This part sounds like nail. It just around the cutical. Its up and down my toes and seems to be spreading downward to the bottom of the foot. Its very alarming.

Hello, my name is Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi.
I understand your concern.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Use a topical antifungal medication
-The feet must be kept clean and dry since the fungus thrives in moist environments.
-Use cotton sock
-Use shoes that allows feet to breathe
-Sometimes is necessary oral prescripted antifungal medication
Hope that my answer was helpful.
