Зображення 01232. Traumatic nail changes

Traumatic nail changes in big toes. Ill-fitting shoes and repeated trauma e.g. during sports may damage the tips of the nails. The nail tip has become thickened and light-coloured, and there is keratinization under the nail. The appearance is very similar to onychomycosis, and months-long antifungal medication should therefore not be started without microbiological verification.
