The infection can affect one or more nails and may progress if left untreated. Diagnosis begins with a clinical examination, with nail clippings or other laboratory tests when required to confirm the infection. Treatment may include topical or oral antifungal medications, depending on the extent and severity of the infection.

Selected laser-based treatments may be considered as adjuncts. Partial or complete nail removal may be considered in specific severe or recurrent cases.
