Understanding Fungal Nail Infections

A fungal nail infection, also known as onychomycosis, is a common condition that affects many individuals. It occurs when fungus enters the nail bed through tiny cuts or separations between the nail and the nail bed. Common symptoms include yellowing, thickening, and brittleness of the nails, as well as a foul odor.

While fungal nail infections are primarily caused by fungi, several factors can increase your risk, such as prolonged exposure to moist environments, walking barefoot in public areas, and having a weakened immune system. If left untreated, these infections can lead to discomfort, pain, and further complications.

Treatment Options for Fungal Nail Infections

Our podiatrists at The Foot Practice offer a range of effective treatment options for fungal nail infections, ensuring that you achieve clear and healthy nails once again. Some of our treatment options include:

1. Topical Antifungal Medications

For mild to moderate fungal nail infections, topical antifungal medications are often recommended. These medications are applied directly to the affected nails to target the fungi and promote healthy nail growth. Regular application as prescribed by our podiatrists can yield promising results.

2. Oral Antifungal Medications

In more severe cases, oral antifungal medications may be prescribed. These medications work from within your body to eliminate the fungus causing the infection. Our experienced podiatrists will carefully assess your condition and determine the most suitable oral medication for you.

3. Laser Therapy

The Foot Practice also offers advanced laser therapy for fungal nail infections. This non-invasive treatment targets the fungus directly, destroying it without causing any harm to the surrounding tissues. Laser therapy is highly effective and often provides faster results compared to traditional treatment methods.
