yellow toenails

[mollymoo]

hi i have good healthy feet except one thing..both my big toe nails have a yellow ting to them..the other toenails don't it is just both the big toes..they have been like this for a few years now...any ideas why..or how to get rid of it...thanks

there is a product that will cure this hang on will get mine - go into Debenhams and find the New York City nails mat (concession) and ask for Avoplex kit, it costs a few bob but it is well worth it and will sort that out for you quick sticks.

Is it also caused by a light deficiency? Like if you wear nail polish alot your finger nails can go a bit yellow because they are being deprived of natural light?
Do you wear a lot of nail polish on them or hardly expose them to light?
Maybe they need to get out more ;o)

Mine was caused by the first three toes on my left foot being broken and virtually sliced off, the nail bed was injured during the 'accident' and the regrowth has been slow and erratic, i am on hols on 4 weeks and if i can't get a pedicure that allows a diamante to be stuck on my big toes before i fly out i will get quite annoyed., grrrr

none not form an injury...and I never wear nail vanish...maybe not enough light then..but i never wear slippers at home...hhhmm thanks though....

Sounds very like a fungle nail infection, gp will confirm, but without seeing it i cant tell either, but if it is your gp will prescribe a course of tabs that you have to take for about 6mths for it to be tr5eated properly, do you also suffer from athletes feet?? as the two seem to go hand in hand, or should i say feet and feet! lol
