Symptoms of toenail fungus usually start as a small white, yellow, green, or black spot under the nail and eventually cause the nail to discolor, distort, thicken, become brittle, and crumble at the edges. It is a persistent condition that can spread to other nails and lead to complications such as the loss of nails if you do not receive treatment. If seeing a specialist isn't possible, try one of these home remedies for toenail fungus to cure the infection and prevent it from recurring.
