What is a Fungal Toenail Infection?
Fungal toenail infection, also called onychomycosis or nail fungus, is a persistent condition where fungus invades the nail bed and nail plate, causing the toenail to become thick, discolored, and brittle. Unlike athlete's foot which affects the skin, nail fungus actually gets underneath and inside the toenail itself, making it much harder to treat and much more stubborn to clear up.
This condition typically starts small - maybe just a white or yellow spot under the tip of your toenail - but it gradually spreads deeper into the nail. As the infection progresses, your toenail may become thick and difficult to trim, turn yellow, brown, or even black, and start to crumble or separate from the nail bed. The big toe is most commonly affected, but the infection can spread to other toenails if left untreated.
Many people live with fungal toenails for years because they think it's just a cosmetic issue or they've tried over-the-counter treatments that didn't work. The truth is, nail fungus rarely goes away on its own and actually tends to get worse over time. It can also spread to other nails or even cause secondary bacterial infections, especially in people with diabetes or compromised immune systems.
Common symptoms include:
- Thick, yellowed, or discolored toenails
- Brittle, crumbly, or ragged nail edges
- Distorted nail shape or separation from nail bed
- Foul smell coming from the infected nail
When to see a podiatrist:
- Over-the-counter treatments haven't worked after several months
- The infection is spreading to other nails
- You have diabetes or circulation problems
- The nail becomes painful or shows signs of secondary infection
Fungal Toenail Treatment Options
Dr. Rudin specializes in conservative, non-surgical treatments for fungal toenail infections:
In-Office Treatment
Dr. Rudin begins with a thorough examination to confirm the fungal diagnosis and identify the specific type of fungus involved. He can safely trim and debride thickened, infected nail material using professional instruments, which helps topical medications penetrate better. For confirmed fungal infections, he prescribes appropriate antifungal medications, which may include stronger topical treatments or oral medications depending on the severity and extent of the infection.
At-Home Care & Prevention
Successful fungal toenail treatment requires patience and consistency with medication application, as nail fungus can take many months to completely clear. Dr. Rudin will teach you proper nail care techniques, including safe trimming methods and daily hygiene practices. He'll recommend ways to keep feet dry and well-ventilated, appropriate antifungal sprays for shoes and socks, and how to disinfect nail care tools to prevent reinfection or spread to other nails.
Ongoing Management
Since fungal toenail infections are notoriously slow to clear and prone to recurrence, Dr. Rudin provides long-term monitoring and support throughout the treatment process. Regular follow-up visits allow him to track progress, make medication adjustments if needed, and ensure the infection is completely eliminated before stopping treatment. He'll also provide ongoing prevention strategies to reduce the risk of reinfection, especially important for people prone to foot fungus.
Dr. Rudin also offers in-office medication for treatment and management of athlete’s foot and fungal nails.
All treatments are non-surgical and performed in-office. Most patients see improvement within 3-6 months, though complete nail clearing may take 9-12 months depending on the severity.
