Fungal Nail and Skin Assessment
Fungal nail infection can cause discolouration, thickening, crumbling or separation of the nail, but injury, psoriasis and other nail conditions can look similar. An assessment helps determine whether fungal infection is likely and whether testing would be useful before treatment.
Treatment Plan
We offer a treatment plan that uses a condition dependent blend of nail reduction, thinning and fenestration, combined with a selected topical treatment. Nails are photographed and scored and this process is repeated every six weeks. We categorise our patients into Category A, B or C based on the number of infected nails and this dictates the time slot and charge.
Do all thick nails have fungus?
No. Trauma and other nail conditions may cause similar changes.
Why can treatment take so long?
Toenails grow slowly, so visible improvement depends on healthier nail growing forward.
Can I use pharmacy treatment?
Some people can, but check suitability if you have diabetes, poor circulation, reduced sensation, pregnancy or other health concerns.
Book an initial podiatry consultation for assessment and a tailored treatment plan.
