Fungal Nails Subiaco
Fungal nail treatment and why it matters
Fungal nail infections are commonly treated at The Foot Clinic Perth. Our podiatrists near Subiaco 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?
Fungal nail infections often stem from wet, warm areas such as public showers or changing rooms, or from nail trauma. Discolouration and thickening are common symptoms. At The Foot Clinic Perth, we can provide a 95% accurate diagnosis with a 15-minute in-house test, followed by an effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
In treating fungal nails, we may file the top layer of the nail to allow better penetration of antifungal treatments. The choice of topical treatment depends on the severity and type of infection, as well as any allergies. If needed, we will refer you to your GP for further treatment options, including 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.
If you notice any signs of a fungal nail infection, it's essential to consult with a podiatrist as soon as possible. Early detection increases the chances of successfully treating the issue with simple methods.
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.
