Understanding Fungal Nails
Fungal nail infections cause discoloration, thickening, and brittleness. The changes to your nails caused by fungal infections can be uncomfortable and many people feel self-conscious about the appearance of their infected nails.
If you suspect a fungal nail infection, we offer a thorough review and personalised treatment plan based on your needs. Treatment options available include:
Topical Treatments
Topical antifungal treatments, such as nail lacquers are applied directly to the affected nails. They can be effective for mild infections if used consistently over several months.
Lacuna Treatment
The Lacuna treatment method involves creating small holes in the nail to allow antifungal medication to penetrate deeper, helping to target advanced infections more effectively.
Nail Removal
For an extensive deep infection one option is to remove the entire nail under local anaesthetic and treat the nail bed with an antifungal solution as the nail regrows.
At Feet and Motion we take a holistic approach to fungal infections. As well as guiding you through all the direct treatment options available, we also provide advice on other steps you can take to ensure the treatment is successful – there’s more to treating fungal nails than just painting on an antifungal lacquer! We can help you restore your nails to full health and keep them fungus free in the future. Book an appointment today for a professional assessment and personalised care.
