Some of my toenails have started to thicken, making them harder to cut. They also look unsightly, so I’ve started to use nail varnish all year round. I there anything I can do to get my old nails back?

It is common for toenails to thicken somewhat as we age. However, they can become problematically thick due to underlying issues such as fungal infections, autoimmune conditions, or pressure from restrictive footwear (such as safety boots).
