Toenail fungus can be difficult to treat, and it may take some time to see results. Here are some signs that your toenail fungus is dying:
-
Changes in nail color: As the fungus diminishes, the discoloration of the nail might slowly dissipate. Over time, you’ll see areas of discoloration get smaller and smaller.
-
Decrease in toenail thickness: If your toenail infection has caused your nails to become thick and raised off your nailbed, a sign of effective treatment is a decrease in nail thickness. However, this might not totally resolve until your nail regrows.
-
New nail growth is healthy: Lastly, a sign that a case of toenail fungus is dying is that a new nail is growing in a healthy state. Youll see a clear delineation between the infected part of the toenail and your new nail growth.
Its important to note that even if you see these signs, it doesn’t mean the fungus is completely gone. You should continue treating it as long as your doctor recommends. If you have a severe case of toenail fungus, it is recommended that you see a specialist for treatment.
