Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER.
Have you had your toenails examined? Do you have any underlying medical conditions?
First, you need to find out why your toenails are thick, brittle and yellow in color. Then, a remedy or treatment can be suggested.
In most cases, yellow toenails suggest a fungal infection. Yellow toenails are usually accompanied by additional symptoms. These symptoms are great indicators of the actual cause of the discoloration. Sometimes there will be a thickening of the nail, and it will have a raised appearance.
Occasionally, the nail will become brittle and weak and begin to crumble or flake.
Please do not ignore this,
