A member asked:

Can you give me a recommendation letter so that i can go and see a gp for a fungal infection in both my big toes, they are discoloured and thickened?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Toenail infection: When there is a fungal infection in the toenail, they become thickened,discolored.The most effective treatment is oral medication prescribed by your primary doctor for period of approximately 6 weeks.Topical creams and solutions are not as effective. I would recommend that you see your primary doctor To assess and give a prescription.
