Its a problems faced by many diabetics... the nails get this way from poor circulation. Starting seeing a Podiatrist... they will file them down to make them thinner, this will stop other painful conditions from occurring.

If it is not a fungal problem and you do not have Diabetes. The only other time I have seen yellowing toenails was after constantly wearing nail polish without giving those twinkly toe nails a break. I left the polish off for a couple of months and the yellowing went away. Just a thought.

most of the time it is a fungus or sometimes due to medication. I have heard that you can soak them in listerine everyday for a couple of week and it would take care of the problem, Don't know b/c I don;t have this problem

Ask your doctor for Lemisil. I,m not sure of spelling, but doctor would know. Good luck.
