Fungal Nails Crawley
Fungal nail treatment and why it matters
At The Foot Clinic Perth, our experienced podiatrists near Crawley treat fungal nail infections using a range of proven techniques. Left untreated, fungal infections can cause permanent nail damage and spread, potentially leading to secondary infections in the surrounding skin.
What if my nails are infected?
Fungus thrives in wet, warm environments like communal showers or locker rooms, and nail trauma can also lead to infection. Common signs include discolouration and thickened nails. Our 15-minute in-house test can confirm fungal infection with 95% accuracy, and we'll create a custom treatment plan to improve nail health.
Fungal nail treatment often involves filing the top layer of the nail to enhance the absorption of topical antifungal treatments. Depending on the severity and type of the infection, we will recommend the most suitable treatment, taking into account any allergies or other medical conditions. If topical treatments are ineffective or unsuitable, we may refer you to your GP for systemic antifungal medications.
Understanding nail fungus
The fungus that causes nail infections is typically triggered by moisture-rich environments or sweat in tight shoes. Common early symptoms include yellow or white discoloration under the nail, and thickening or crumbling of the toenail.
As soon as you detect symptoms of a fungal nail infection, it's important to see a podiatrist. The earlier the infection is caught, the more likely it is that basic treatment techniques will be effective.
The Foot Clinic has successfully treated fungal nail infections and other skin and nail conditions for many patients. We understand the importance of healthy feet for everyday life and will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan.
