Toenail Fungus Pictures and Images: Beginning of Treatment

These are some images I took of "my friend's" beginning to mild toenail fungus. These pictures were only to track the progress of my experiments with toenail fungus treatments. Hopefully they are clear enough for you to see as well.

Some symptoms early toenail fungus are striations and cracks (as you see here on the big toenails) and thick, yellowing nails. It can get much worse down the line, but this is typically how it starts out.

This image also shows more of the damage done to the big toenail. The toes themselves, the fleshy part, aren't peeling, so there is little to no Athlete's Foot going on, thankfully.

In this left image, you clearly see the vertical striations, or lines, cutting across the big toe. There is yellowing as well. The fungus is predominantly on the big toe, 2nd from right, and little toe. The 2nd toe from the right has some blood caked underneath, or a scab that had formed. The affected toes have what look like warps or scratches as well, although that is actually an effect of the fungus.

Here you can see some of the fungus in the middle of the little toe's nail. It makes it a bit difficult to see where the nail begins (inserted into toe.)

This is an image of the left foot's big toe. Clearly this one has early-moderate signs of toenail fungus too. The other toes were in decent shape, but this one had a rough and uneven toenail surface.







So there it is, folks. The unsightly truth. But rest assured, they do look much better now; they were taken a month or so ago. I will go treatment options and simple maintenance techniques over the coming days.
