What Causes Toenail Fungus?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
8. Complications
A toenail fungus infection is usually relatively easy to treat, and is unlikely to cause much harm to the patient at all. Treatment will often not even be needed as such infections will often cause few ill effects. Treatment is still recommended, however, because it can develop into something more serious.
A toenail fungus infection can sometimes lead to permanent damage to the patient’s nails. Some patients can also find that the condition is quite painful. In addition, there is also the chance that the infection can spread to elsewhere in the body, potentially resulting in a condition that is serious.
