Fungal Nails Nedlands
Fungal nail treatment and why it matters
Fungal nail infections are commonly treated at The Foot Clinic Perth. Our podiatrists near Nedlands use effective treatment options to prevent the spread of infection and avoid permanent damage to your nails, as untreated infections can affect surrounding skin and healthy nails.
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.
To treat fungal nails, we may file off the top layer of the nail to ensure better absorption of topical antifungal treatments. Based on the infection’s severity and your medical history, we'll tailor our approach. If topical treatments fail or aren't appropriate, we may refer you to your GP for systemic antifungal options.
Understanding nail fungus
Fungal nail infections can result from exposure to wet conditions or sweat buildup in tight shoes. The first visible signs include yellow or white discoloration under the toenail's edge, or thickening and crumbling of the nail.
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.
