Athlete’s foot is comparable to toenail fungus. Athletes foot is a fungal skin infection. It is a fairly common foot infection that affects the sole of the foot as well as the space between the toes. The same fungus that infects the skin can also infect the toenails, causing them to thicken and discolor. Athlete’s foot, in fact, is the root of many cases of toenail fungus.
However, the therapy for toenail fungus differs from that for athlete’s foot. Topical antifungal medicine typically works effectively for athlete’s foot. While some cases of toenail fungus respond to topical medications like Tocylen solution, the majority of cases require more aggressive therapy. A three-month course of oral antifungal medication or laser therapy are two options.
