    CHICAGO, IL, May 31, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fungus-the word isn't pretty and neither is the look of your toenails if they have a fungal infection. It can cause the nail to turn thick and appear crumble-like and yellowish.

"Some people choose not to treat toenail fungus, and that can permanently alter the look of the toenail. And the infection of the toe can get worse, causing pain," says Dr. Stein.

In the past, people relied on creams to get rid of toenail fungus, but that method didn't work for everyone. Plus, there was a higher risk that the toenail fungus would reappear.

Nowadays, there are three procedures for infected nails: oral drugs, topical drugs and laser treatment. The practice of using lasers in the health care field is continuing to grow, and this technology is helping the Lake Shore Foot & Ankle Podiatry stop toenail fungus and help patients regrow healthy toenails.
