Understanding Yellow Toenails

Yellow toenails can be a sign of underlying issues affecting your foot health. Whether caused by fungal infections, injury, or other conditions, they require attention to restore your nails to their natural state.

Common Causes of Yellow Toenails:

  • Fungal Infections: The most common cause, leading to discoloration and thickening of the nail.
  • Injury or Trauma: Damage to the nail can cause yellowing as it heals.
  • Psoriasis: A skin condition that may also affect nail health.
  • Aging: Nails naturally become thicker and discolored with age.
  • Nail Polish Stains: Prolonged use of certain nail polishes can leave a yellow tint.
