How Can A Fungal Infection In The Toenail Be Treated?

Apparently I wore shoes that are too small. My big toe on one foot realized a narrow bruise line under the nail bed, no pain. The other big toe turned opaque white, is lifting and oozing from underneath. Is this just a bruising effect or a fungal infection? How to treat it?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern. White color is suggestive of fungal infection more.
So follow these steps for faster recovery from fungal toe nail infection.
1. Wash your foot thoroughly with warm water 5-6 times a day.
2. Wear loose footwear.
3. Avoid perspiration and moisture in foot.
4. Wear only cotton socks.
5. Take fluconazole tablet once a day for 3 months.
6. Apply ketoconazole cream on toes.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
