Fungal Nails Peppermint Grove
Fungal nail treatment and why it matters
Fungal nail infections are a common issue treated by podiatrists near Peppermint Grove 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.
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
Fungal nail infections are often caused by exposure to damp environments, such as communal showers, or even from the sweat in tight shoes. The first signs of infection are typically yellow or white discoloration under the top of the toenail, or the nail becoming thickened and crumbly.
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.
