FUNGAL NAIL INFECTIONS

Chiropodist fungal nail treatment

Do you have discoloured, brittle and painful toenails?

These are symptoms of a fungal nail infection. Fungal nails are unsightly and can be painful. They’re also contagious and can spread through direct contact with infected surfaces, or by sharing towels, nail clippers and other items.

Without proper fungal nail treatment, the condition won’t get any better.

You may have already searched online for home remedies and purchased over-the-counter anti-fungal treatments off the shelf. You may have even contacted your GP about your condition but still had no success.

You shouldn’t have to put up with this and the good news is you don’t have to. Our highly trained chiropodists and podiatrists can treat your fungal infection and get your feet looking and feeling great.

About fungal nail infections

What is a fungal nail infection

Fungal nail infections affect 10% of the population. It’s a common foot condition where your toenail becomes infected with fungus.

What causes a fungal nail infection?

Fungal nail infection occurs when fungus gets inside your toenail, either through a crack in your nail or the skin around your nail, and starts to grow. Fungus thrives in warm and dark places, so when wearing closed-toe shoes, if your feet are getting hot and sweaty, you might be at risk of becoming infected. The same applies to walking barefoot through gym showers, swimming pools, and locker rooms, where fungus can spread easily.

What are common symptoms of fungal nail infection?

The types of symptoms that you experience will differ depending on the type of fungus that has caused the infection. However, the main symptoms are discoloured, brittle, and sometimes curled toenails. You might also find that your toenails thicken, start to smell, or even come loose from the nailbed. After a while, you might also find that the infected toes become painful, making it difficult to walk.

I had a bad verruca and it was treated with care and attention. I can now walk knowing I’m not going to be in pain.
