Causes

Using a toenail file too aggressively or with excessive pressure can cause damage to the nails, such as thinning, splitting, or weakening.

Diagnosis

Toenail files may be used to manage thickened or roughened nails associated with fungal nail infections. However, proper diagnosis of the fungal infection by a healthcare professional is necessary to determine the appropriate treatment, which may include antifungal medications.

Toenail file

A toenail file, also known as a nail file or an emery board, is a small tool used for shaping, smoothing, and refining the edges of toenails. It typically consists of a thin, flat piece of material with a rough surface, designed to gently abrade and shape the nails without causing damage.

Symptoms

Discoloration or deformity of toenails, such as yellowing, thickening, or curling, may prompt individuals to use a toenail file to manage these symptoms.

Treatment

Toenail files can help manage thickened or roughened nails associated with fungal infections by thinning and shaping the nails.
