If your toenails look a little out of the ordinary, this could mean that you have been infected with toenail fungus. But it might not. There are a lot of different medical issues that involve your feet. Toenail fungus is one of the more common ailments, but it certainly isn’t the only one.

Toenail fungus can have quite a few symptoms. If what you have really is toenail fungus, some of the first symptoms you’ll likely see are strange colored spots on your nails. These spots tend to be white or yellow in color. If you don’t see spots, but your nails have darkened, you may still be seeing toenail fungus symptoms. Other symptoms of toenail fungus include brittle nails, as well as nails that have thickened, become distorted or begun to crumble.

The best way to determine if you have toenail fungus is by getting a doctor’s opinion. However, instead of just seeking out any old doctor, you should consult with a foot doctor who is familiar with toenail fungus infections. Podiatrists are foot doctors who treat toenail regularly. Even if you think you’ve read enough on the subject to know for sure that you have toenail fungus, you should get your toenails checked out anyway. The longer you wait to get them treated, the worse your symptoms will get.
