A member asked:

Hi doctor, i am 18 years old and my question is that i have yellow toe nails, what is the treatment and cause of this. ?

Dig deeper..: Are they yellow since you were born? or are they becoming yellow lately? How many toenails are looking yellow? The entire nail, or an edge of the nail? , And how about your fingernails? Are you a healthy person? (generally speaking). Tell us more.. The nails are an important reflection of our health..

Not so much fun-gi?: Although there several reasons for developing yellow toenails, by far, the most common is having a fungal infection in the toenail. This can be established by consulting with a specialist. A history and physical exam along with a possible lab test or two can establish the true nature of your problem.
