Who do i go to diagnose toe nail fungus, besides a podiatrist?

Fungus: Podiatrist would be first choice since they deal with it daily. Otherwise see dermatologist.

Nail fungus: This begs the question why would see someone other than those that treat it every single day . That being said a dermatologist is the only other one to see. Family doc's have enough to do ! good luck.
