Fungal Nails

The common Athletes foot infection acquired in changing rooms and swimming pools is caused by an infection of fungi.

The infection in the skin is prone to spreading to the nails causing them to become thickened and discoloured; the nail may turn yellow, brown or black. They can become unsightly, difficult to cut at home and sometimes painful. Using our high speed spray drills our practitioners can reduce the bulk of the nail leaving it smooth, comfortable and more aesthetically pleasing. If our Podiatrist suspects a fungal infection is present, they will offer you an ‘instant result’ fungal nail test. If the test is positive, we will then discuss the different treatment options available to eradicate the infection.
