Thickening And Yellowing Discoloration of the Toe Nail Posted: 01-11-07 12:02pm
My toe nail has become thicker with a
slight discoloration.It has progressed
from the edge of the nail down toward the
cuticle and inward about 33% toward the
middle.

Joe,
this could be a fungal infection.
Firstly go see a doctor. A fungal
infection can spread quite quickly and
infect the the next nail.
There are many treatments available: some
prescribed and some more a home remedy.
Some work and some do not.

Does sound like a fungus. The meds used
to treat toe nail fungus are very hard on
your liver and are also very expensive.
The Dr. Will need to monitor your liver
closely to prevent damage. My wife has it
and the doc. Told her the risk of the
'oral' meds. Was not worth the reward.
She lives with it just fine. Just keep
your socks on if your embarassed.

Oral or ingested medicine is not a good
idea you have asked your gp exactly what
the possible side effects are.
As the condition (as the name suggests) is
fungal - counteracting with a herbal
remedy may be the solution.
Have a looke here at some possible
treatment that work for some that do not
cost anything.
