What doctor do I go see for a toe nail fungus?

Answer by  nicolebrodeur (206)

For what appears to be a manageable condition, you are probably able to simply look up a local podiatrist. In extreme circumstances, it is possible that you might be better off just going to the emergency room of the nearest hospital. However, in most parts of the country there is no "fungus doctor. "

See a podiatrist or foot doctor to help get rid of toenail fungus. The podiatrist will prescribe an oral antifungal medication, file the infected nail, trim it, and then apply prescription topical cream or ointment to the infected area.
