How to avail fungal nail
treatment in London?

Onychomycosis, or fungal nail infection, is a very common foot
disease that causes the toenails to thicken and become unsightly.
Severe infections can lead to the nail bed being totally destroyed or
deformed, or in some cases, spread to the other toenails and skin.
Because the symptoms of fungal infection are so similar to other foot
diseases, it is crucial to diagnose the disease correctly and get fungal
nail treatment in London as soon as possible.

common symptoms include discoloured skin (cream or white), brittle
and crumbly nails, or in severe cases, chunks of your toenails might
break and fall off completely.
