 Hey everybody, it's Keith Mills. Toenail fungus is a very common condition that causes a lot of anxiety for people, especially when the weather warms up and the socks come off. Not only is toenail fungus unsightly, but fungal nails can become very painful as the fungus burrows under the nails, causing nail deformities and painful ingrown nails. Fungus can affect the skin as well, causing dry, scaly, flaky, itchy skin that causes physical and emotional discomfort. If you've been wondering if you have fungus, call Dr. Kelly Gagin.
