Hi, my 19 month old daughter has a yellow toenail. What should I do with the nail? Is it possible for her to have nail fungus at 19 months?

Hello ma'am

Would it be possible to upload a picture to see?

Thanks for the feedback!

Sorry for the late reply, I hadn't seen your message notification. The nails of very young children can grow a little faster. For now, continue to cut the nail normally: if the base (the new part of the nail) looks healthy, no need to worry. However, if the base looks the same, you should consult your doctor, just to be safe.

Sincerely
