Toenail Fungus

Expert Care in The Woodlands, Conroe & Magnolia


Toenail fungus—also called onychomycosis—is a common but stubborn condition that can cause thick, discolored, and brittle nails. While over-the-counter treatments rarely solve the problem, professional podiatric care can restore the appearance and health of your nails safely and effectively.


At The Foot and Ankle Center, we offer advanced toenail fungus treatment for patients across The Woodlands, Conroe, and Magnolia using modern, evidence-based methods that target the infection at its source.

What Is Toenail Fungus?


Toenail fungus is an infection that develops beneath the nail surface, often caused by dermatophytes—or less commonly, yeast and mold. The infection can start small but typically worsens over time, spreading to other nails if not properly treated.

Common risk factors include:

  • Sweaty or damp feet

  • Wearing tight shoes

  • Walking barefoot in public places (pools, gyms, locker rooms)

  • Prior nail injuries

  • Weakened immune system

  • Diabetes or circulation issues

Symptoms of Toenail Fungus

You may have toenail fungus if you notice:

  • Yellow, white, or brown discoloration

  • Thickened or brittle nails

  • Nails that crumble or split

  • A foul odor from the nail

  • Pain or discomfort while walking

  • Nail separating from the nail bed

Toenail fungus does not disappear on its own. Early treatment helps prevent worsening infection and improves long-term results.

Professional Toenail Fungus Treatment Options


At The Foot and Ankle Center, we tailor treatment based on the severity of the infection, nail condition, and patient health needs.


1. Prescription Antifungal Medications

Oral antifungals are often the most effective option and help clear the infection from the inside out.

2. Topical Antifungal Therapy

Prescription-strength creams and solutions can be used alone or in combination with other treatments.

3. Nail Debridement

Trimming and thinning the nail reduces pain, improves appearance, and allows medication to penetrate deeper.

4. Advanced Treatment Options

Depending on the case, we may recommend newer treatments designed to target fungal organisms more precisely.

5. Preventive Nail Care

We guide you on how to stop reinfection, including hygiene strategies, footwear recommendations, and long-term foot care.

Is Toenail Fungus Dangerous?

While often dismissed as a cosmetic issue, persistent toenail fungus can lead to:

  • Pain while walking

  • Spread to other nails

  • Secondary skin infections

  • Increased risk for patients with diabetes

Proper podiatric care is essential, especially for high-risk individuals.
