How do you cure yellow toenails?

Yellow toenails can have a number of causes, including fungal infection, trauma, and certain medical conditions. Treatment will vary depending on the underlying cause.

If the yellow toenails are caused by a fungal infection, an antifungal medication may be prescribed. This may be in the form of a pill or a topical ointment. Treatment may need to be continued for several months.

If the yellow toenails are caused by trauma, such as stubbing your toe, the nail may eventually grow out and the yellowing will disappear. However, if the nail is severely damaged, it may need to be removed.

If the yellow toenails are caused by a medical condition, such as liver disease or kidney disease, treatment of the underlying condition may improve the appearance of the nails.

In some cases, yellow toenails may be a sign of a more serious medical condition. If you are concerned about the yellowing of your toenails, it is important to see a doctor to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment.

Here are some additional tips for treating yellow toenails:

- Keep your feet clean and dry.

- Avoid wearing tight-fitting shoes.

- Trim your toenails straight across.

- Avoid using nail polish or other nail products that can damage your nails.

- See your doctor if the yellowing of your toenails does not improve with home treatment.
