Fungal nail infections are a common condition caused by fungi that thrive in warm, moist environments. They can lead to nails that become thickened, brittle, and discoloured. While fungal nails are often harmless in the early stages, if left untreated they can spread to other toenails and cause discomfort or more significant damage.
Common Symptoms include:
-
Thickened, brittle, or crumbly nails
-
Discoloured nails (yellow, brown, or white)
-
Nails lifting or separating from the nail bed
-
Infection spreading to other toenails if untreated
Treatments We Provide:
-
Topical and oral antifungal medications – prescribed or recommended where suitable to target the infection.
-
Nail debridement – carefully thinning and smoothing thickened nails to reduce discomfort and improve appearance.
-
Footwear and sock hygiene advice – guidance on how to prevent reinfection through simple daily habits.
-
