Complications from Toenail Fungus

If you have a weakened immune system or suffer from diabetes, you need to get medical attention as soon as possible. What begins as a toenail fungal infection could lead to other more serious infections. In the case of diabetes sufferers, they already have poor circulation of blood to the feet and this can increase the risk of developing nail fungus. If not treated, the fungal infection can turn into skin and bone infections. When you have severe toenail fungal infections, you may also have trouble walking or wearing shoes.
