4. Symptoms

One of the main symptoms of a toenail fungus infection is that it can cause the nail to become thicker than it usually would be. The nail can also take on a yellow color, while particles can build up under the nail, causing it to become darker in appearance.

Such an infection can also cause the nail to take on a different shape, and the nail can also become brittle and ragged as parts begin to crumble away. Some patients might also find that their nails develop a mild but unpleasant odor. It is recommended to get treatment early to help prevent the symptoms getting too severe.
