How Can Fungal Skin Infection In The Toe Nail Be Treated?
My husband has terrible toe nail fungus. Recently he is experiencing toe pain, the toe nail is loose, the toe is red, there is a significant amount of skin attached to the end of the toe making it look deformed. This happened 21/2 months after being diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic. He was unable to walk properly today for work.
