Fungal nail Infection / Get your feet Spring ready 👣

Fungal nail Infection is also known as Onychomycosis and / or Tinea Unguium which is a fungal infection of the skin beneath the nail (nail bed). This Infection will bring about visual and physical changes to the nail (nail plate). Discolouration from white, yellow, brown or even black and thickening and distortion of the nail - it may become an usual shape and texture and difficult to trim.

Fungal nail Infection is difficult to treat as the nail plate acts as a barrier to where the Infection is (under the nail).

An effective remedy is:

fenestration where small holes are drilled painlessly into the nail to allow Lamisil 1% spray to reach the nail bed.

Toe nail melt is achieved by using Zinc oxide tape, 40% urea and canespro fungal nail treatment. The toe is covered for a week and filed there after and the balance of the toe nail will come away.

For further queries please WhatsApp and send photos of the nails in question so we can discuss further.
