Fungal Nail Infection

Fungal nail infections (Onychomycosis) are a common condition that can affect one or more toenails, causing them to become thickened, discoloured, brittle, or crumbly. The infection occurs when fungal organisms (usually dermatophytes, yeasts, or moulds) invade the nail plate and nail bed.

While fungal nails are not usually painful in the early stages, they can become uncomfortable over time and may make walking or wearing shoes difficult. They can also spread to other nails or skin if left untreated.

Treatment Options

  • Causes and Risk Factors

    Fungal nail infections often develop after Athlete’s Foot, from exposure to warm, moist environments (such as communal showers or swimming pools), or due to nail trauma. You may also be more susceptible if you have diabetes, circulation issues, or a weakened immune system.

  • Treatment Options

    At our podiatry clinic, we offer professional assessment and a range of treatments tailored to your individual needs. Depending on the severity of the infection, options may include:

    • Topical antifungal treatments
    • Oral antifungal medication
    • Medical nail debridement to reduce nail thickness and improve treatment penetration

  • Natalie and Saskia were incredibly patient, kind and professional with our 6 year old. They completely resolved a verruca issue that was causing her discomfort when walking, our daughter was always happy to see them and they gave us brilliant aftercare advice. Couldn’t recommend enough, thank you both!
