When to See a Doctor
While natural remedies are useful for mild infections, consult a healthcare provider if:
No improvement after several weeks of treatment.
Severe infection: Thick, discolored, or deformed nails.
Underlying conditions: Diabetes or compromised immunity increases complication risk.
Medical options may include prescription oral or topical antifungals or, in severe cases, surgical nail removal.
Conclusion
