Fungal Nails Mosman Park
Fungal nail treatment and why it matters
Fungal nail infections are a common issue treated by podiatrists near Mosman Park at The Foot Clinic Perth. We use a variety of effective methods to treat and eliminate the infection, ensuring the health of your nails. If not treated, fungal infections can lead to permanent nail damage and spread to other nails, causing further complications.
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.
For fungal nail infections, we might begin by filing the top layer of the nail to allow a topical antifungal to penetrate more effectively. The specific treatment will depend on the infection type, severity, and any allergies. If topical treatments are ineffective, we may refer you to your GP for oral 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.
It’s crucial to seek help from a podiatrist right away if you spot signs of a fungal nail infection. Catching it early increases the chance that simple treatments will be enough to resolve the issue.
