Fungal Nails Wembley
Fungal nail treatment and why it matters
Our experienced podiatrists at The Foot Clinic Perth near Wembley offer effective fungal nail treatments, helping to prevent permanent nail damage and the spread of infection to other nails. If not treated, fungal infections can also lead to secondary skin infections.
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.
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.
The Foot Clinic has successfully treated fungal nail infections and other skin and nail conditions for many patients. We understand the importance of healthy feet for everyday life and will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan.
