Expert Toenail Fungus Treatment in Stockbridge

Causes:

Toenail fungus often develops due to trauma to the nail or nail bed, creating an entry point for fungal infections. Common causes include wearing tight shoes, nail injuries, or exposure to warm, moist environments, such as locker rooms or pools.

Symptoms:

Symptoms include thickened, discolored, or brittle nails, sometimes accompanied by changes in nail shape or separation of the nail from the nail bed. If left untreated, toenail fungus can lead to permanent damage or more severe infections.

Diagnosis:

We provide a thorough examination of the affected nails to diagnose the type and severity of the fungal infection. This ensures the most effective treatment plan is tailored to your specific condition.

Treatment Options:

• Topical Medications: Specialized nail polishes or creams applied daily to penetrate the nail and eliminate the fungus.
• Oral Medications: Prescription antifungal pills taken daily for several months, monitored with routine blood work to manage side effects.
• Laser Therapy: A cutting-edge, non-invasive option that uses lasers to destroy fungal infections beneath the nail.
• Surgical Removal: In severe cases, surgical removal of the infected nail allows for a healthier nail to grow back over time.
