How to Track Toenail Fungus Progress With Photos
The short answer
Take a photo of each affected nail on the same day every month, in the same light, from the same angle, after trimming. Compare month 1 to month 3 and month 6: a clear band of healthy nail growing up from the base is the main sign treatment is working.
The 60-second monthly routine
- Pick a date — the 1st of the month is easy to remember.
- Trim and file nails first so you're comparing like with like.
- Use daylight near a window, or the same lamp every time. No flash.
- Shoot straight down from about 6 inches, then one side angle.
- Save photos in a dedicated album named by month.
What to look for
- A clear, smooth band at the base that gets longer each month
- A visible line between the healthy and the old nail
- Less thickness and less crumbling at the tip
