Infected toe nails
My toe nails are infected and have become dark in colour. The nails have also become hard. What treatment can I use to get rid of this condition.
Dear Joey
You need a prescription for antifungal tablets - be warned it can take up to 3 months to start getting better! Discuss with your GP. It is always good to send cuttings of the nail to the lab to diagnose the kind of fungus - it ensures that you take the right medication from the start
