Fungal toe nail infections can be very unsightly. Sometimes every toenail can become infected if treatment is not started early. The nails look yellowy and thick and can become very crumbly.

A chiropodist can make the nails look much better and advise on some effective treatments.

Athletes foot is extremely common. Often the whole foot can become infected and cracks can appear between the toes. Regular treatment with a good antifungal cream and powder is quite effective in clearing the fungus. Avoid spreading it to other people by not sharing towels, bath mats and walking barefoot in public areas and at home.
