Dr. Jacoby:
Another aspect of toenail fungus is sometimes it looks like psoriasis, and psoriasis is another skin condition that can get into the toenail bed. So those two are the differential diagnoses.
The third one in trauma-related toenail problems doesn’t necessarily mean you have fungus. So the best thing to do is seek out the care of a podiatrist or a dermatologist who also treats this condition, and make a clinical diagnosis first, and if need be, get a culture to substantiate and prove that it is toenail fungus.
