what would make my toenails so hard that you can't even cut them
Toenail fungus is probably the topic that readers have asked us most about over the years. Thatâs not surprising since it is so common, so unpleasant, and so hard to treat. The fungus causes the toenail, particularly on the big toe, to thicken and discolor; the end may separate from the nail bed. Often, the nail is so thick you canât cut it. In severe cases, the nail may detach and fall off. Medically known as onychomycosis, toenail fungus is increasingly common, possibly because of lifestyle changes and an aging population.
