A member asked:
My big toenail has some really bad fungus & detaching at the base of the toe. im trying to get an appointment with the podiatrist but they arent calling me back. do i sleep with a sock on to make sure it doesnt fall off? will it make fungus worse?

Sleeping with a sock on will not make it worse at all. You do need a fungal culture to be taken from the big toenail to confirm there is a fungus as many thickened big toenails are not necessarily caused by a fungus
