Looking at your images, the big toenail shows classic signs of onychomycosis â fungal nail infection. The nail is thickened, yellow-brown in colour, crumbly, and deformed since the injury in 2024. Nail injuries often allow fungus to enter, and once established, fungal nail infections do not resolve on their own and require a proper course of antifungal treatment, which is usually 3-6 months long.
Next Steps
Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation â I can prescribe the right antifungal treatment and advise on nail care to help it grow back properly.

Keep foot clean and dry. Avoid nylon foot wear or socks. Apply candid b lotion twice a day, tab ketoconazole 200mg one daily for a week.
Soak in lukewarm water for fewinutes daily,then wipe it dry gently. This will soften toe nail and around and will facilitate better absorption of lotion.

Hi, your toe nail looks damaged from the old injury, and it may also have a fungal infection now.
Fungal infection sets in on top of the damaged nail.
Keep the foot clean and dry.
Wear loose, breathable shoes and cotton socks.
Fungal nail infections take many months to clear completely.
Feel free to consult for further guidance.👍
