Clearing discolored nails is difficult. The appearance of healthy, undamaged toenails is generally pretty well understood. Nails that aren’t damaged or infected will look clear. They show the color of the skin underneath, which should be a slightly pinker tone than your normal skin tone.

Discolored Nails

Toenail fungus is a big reason why the clear, healthy appearance of the toenail changes. The most common sign that your nails are infected by fungus is discoloration.

How to treat discolored nails caused by toenail fungus?

Clearing discolored nails involve treating the fungus that is causing the discoloration. There are a few ways that people try to do this, but the best and safest option is to see a licensed podiatrist. They are qualified medical doctors who will be able to give you safe, effective treatment for toenail fungus. However, not all prescriptions for toenail fungus are safe or effective.

Topical medications can take up to a year to eliminate any nail fungus and see improvement in your discolored nails and even then are ineffective. Oral medications are a little faster and more effective at clearing the discoloration, but are very unsafe and can cause liver toxicity. The best option to clear your discolored nails is the PinPointe laser treatment.
