Fungal Nail / Onychomycosis

Onychomycosis or fungal nail is the most common nail infection, affecting around 10% of people and causing unsightly discolouration. In this video I discuss the appearance, how it's developed, other similar problems, and how to diagnose it.

Wow! What recommendations would you have for runners? I’m constantly running and notice my toes suffer from it.

[@thelondonpodiatrist]

Hi Ray, for fungal nail treatments take a look at my other video on the subject th-cam.com/video/LYTzI_3PevY/w-d-xo.html
But, also for runners try to avoid repetitive micro trauma to the nails on the shoes. Tie laces firmly around the midfoot, and keep around a 1 cm gap between the end of the toes and shoe. Let me know if you have any other questions after watching the video! Thanks for commenting!

This helps.. I wrote this comment prematurely. The next video answered more questions. I think my shoes might just be a bit too snug. Thank you for your reply.
