Don't worry: Schedule an appointment with your primary care provider, a dermatologist (or a podiatrist for toe nails). They can accurately diagnose & present treatment options.

We can try!: Nail fungus is very common, and unfortunately very difficult to cure 100%. We can test the nail to see if it is a callused or traumatized nail or if it is indeed fungus, and from there you have several options: topical or oral antifungal medications, laser nail treatment, or removal of the nail in severe cases. See your doctor to talk about which treatment is right for you.
