Need Treatment For Athletes Foot Condition

I treat my feet all the time for athletes feet. The nails on both big toes are very weak and there is not much to them. This week I have been at the beach and the first day both big toe nails turned an orange color as well as 4 of the 8 other toes. What might his be related to?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and the symptoms are suggesting me that you are having fungal infection of the toes, which is called as tinea ungum. Which requires vigorous treatment to prevent recurrence.

For fungal infection of the toe nails I would suggest you to follow
1.Keep the are dry and clean
2.Oral Flucanazole tablet, once in a week for atleast 12 weeks
3.Topical antifungal cream and powder

These aforementioned measures helps to control the infection and improve your condition.
Thank you.
