Understanding Fungal Nail Infections
A fungal nail infection, also known as onychomycosis, is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when fungi invade the nail, resulting in changes in color, texture, and thickness of the affected nail. Fungal nail infections can be unsightly, uncomfortable, and even cause pain or difficulty walking.
Symptoms of Fungal Nail Infections
Fungal nail infections often manifest through the following symptoms:
- Discoloration of the nail, typically yellow, white, or brown
- Thickened or distorted nail shape
- Fragile or brittle nails
- Crumbly or ragged nail edges
- Buildup of debris under the nail
- Nail lifting from the nail bed
- Unpleasant odor
Treating Fungal Nail Infections
At The Foot Practice, we offer a range of effective treatment options for fungal nail infections. Our experienced podiatrists will assess the severity of your infection and recommend a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. The treatment options may include:
- Oral Antifungal Medications: These prescription medications help eradicate the fungus causing the infection. They are usually taken for a specific duration as prescribed by the podiatrist.
- Topical Antifungal Medications: These over-the-counter or prescription nail lacquers or creams can be applied directly to the infected nails to control the fungal growth.
- Debridement: This procedure involves the trimming, filing, or removing of the infected nail to reduce the fungal load and allow antifungal medications to penetrate better.
- Laser Therapy: Advanced laser treatments can selectively target and destroy the fungi, promoting the growth of healthy nails.
- Preventive Measures: Our podiatrists will also provide guidance on proper nail hygiene, footwear choice, and lifestyle adjustments to minimize the risk of reinfection.
