Background: Problematic nails and toenails are infected by germs and increasingly have many causes. Aims: To investigate the types and treatment of problematic nails and toenails, we focused on bacteria that may appear in problematic nail toenail symptoms. Methods: We have searched for PubMed and Google Scholar and correlated the words Onychomycosis, Tinea ungium, Melanonychia, and ingrown toenail related to symptoms. Results: To measure onychomycosis, KOH tests and fungal culture tests will be used. Treatment can be treated with full‐body treatment using anti‐fungal agents and local treatment (laser therapy) that can minimize the side effects. A biopsy should be performed when Melanonychia is diagnosed with brown or black pigments on the patient's fingernail plate. Moreover, ingrown toenail surgical treatment can be improved by acquired lifestyle. Conclusions: There are many different types of treatments, but many studies show that problematic nail and toenail improvement periods are long and treatment success rates are low.
