Fungal Nails Shenton Park
Fungal nail treatment and why it matters
At The Foot Clinic Perth, our experienced podiatrists near Shenton Park 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.
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.
If you notice any symptoms of a fungal nail infection, don't wait—see a podiatrist promptly. Early intervention significantly improves the likelihood of treating the infection with straightforward techniques.
At The Foot Clinic, we've treated many patients with fungal nail infections and other skin and nail concerns. We know how vital healthy feet are to daily activities, so we offer personalised treatment plans to get you back on track. Reach out to our reception team or book online today.
