Numbness In Big Toes, Nails On Both Toes Are White And Detached From The Base
I have slight numbness in my big toes that has lasted for a while. It started several months ago, I thought after wearing old sneakers that were too tight when doing gardening. Condition has persisted and nails on both toes are white on the ends and detached from the base. What could be the cause of the slight numbness/tingling, and is the white area due to fungus?

Hi i think numbness to toes is only due to excessive wearing of sneakers for longer time which would have caused decreased blood supply leading to numbness whereas the white spots can be fungus called candidiasis.numbmness can be cured by raising of leg and use of neurobion forte and fungus can be cured by flucanazole 150 mg weekly once and application of onabet cream can cure the condition
