Healthy nails start with expert fungal nail care
- Test your skin and nails to confirm if there is a fungal infection
- Give you advice to reduce/prevent future infection
- Suggest topical or oral treatments
- Refer you for a dermatological opinion where necessary
Patients frequently come to the clinic embarrassed by the appearance of their feet and one of the main reasons many state is their nails.
The incidence of fungal nail infection is high across the population, some groups are more at risk than others. Fungal nails can appear thickened, yellow and crumbling.
Our Podiatrists can test for fungus and help you decide on how best to treat a fungal infection if it is present.
Many over the counter anti-fungal lotions and creams will not be effective against fungal nail infections. Alternative or additional treatment and advice may be necessary so it may save you money to seek advice on how best to treat a fungal nail infection from our Podiatrists before purchasing expensive over the counter treatments.
We can test your nails to confirm that they are fungal, discuss the treatment options available and help you decide the best one for you.
Applying topical treatments can be disheartening, they rarely work as they cannot penetrate the keratin of the nail and the fungus grows beneath, so regular nail reduction by our Podiatrists can help improve the success of the treatment you choose.
