Nail fungus, or onychomycosis, is very common on the toenails. It presents as thicken yellowed, brown or white nails. This nail condition can be caused by a fungus, mold, yeast or a combination. The thickening of the nail can cause pain or discomfort to the surrounding tissue, especially when walking. The nail material can become soft and crumbly at times.
The nail condition can occur due to trauma to the nail or surrounding skin that allows the fungus, yeast or mold enter under the nail, or at the base of the nail. The condition is often seen with tinea (atheletes foot) or fungal infection of the skin. The nail condition can involved the entire nail, or a portion of the nail.

Amputation Prevention Begins with 'Electing to Save Your Feet'
With nearly 246 million people across the globe battling diabetes and its complications this year, staying one step ahead of the disease has never been more important. As America’s political landscape reaches an exciting culmination with November’s 2008 Presidential election, it’s also important to remember to “Elect to Save Your Feet!”
More than 60 percent of non-traumatic, lower-limb amputations in the United States occur among people with diabetes. Because of this, the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) is launching a national campaign titled “Elect to Save Your Feet.” This campaign, run during Diabetes Awareness Month in November, aims to educate the public about the importance of seeing a podiatrist regularly to prevent diabetic, lower-limb amputations.
