Get rid of fungal infections with our fungal nail treatments

 It is a common nail problem and occurs in about 10 percent of the adult population at any one time.
The affected nail can become thickened, brittle and a discoloured greenish-yellow, white or even orange colour. It can change the texture of the nail, to be moist, dry or very brittle. Although it doesn’t often causes pain it can look unsightly and be uncomfortable in shoes. It can affect a single nail (usually the big toe) or multiple nails, and can even affect fingernails too.
If untreated, it can progress to affect the root of the nail, skin around the nail and can cause the nail to detach.
Fungal nails are difficult to treat, however, with perseverance and the right treatment - a new healthy nail can be encouraged.
It is important to seek advice from a podiatrist to confirm the diagnosis, as other conditions such as psoriatic nails and yellow nail syndrome can look similar.

Home treatment:
At Premier Foot Clinic we consider it essential to debride the nail, this can make the nails more comfortable in shoes and allows maximum penetration of the topical agent. The podiatrist is also the best person to offer advice on the best topical agent to use.

Mycocap:
A one off treatment using a special plastic cap temporarily adhered to the nail to enable maximum dosage delivery of the topical agent.

ToeFX:
After preparing the nail, blue serum is applied. The nails are then placed under red LED light units. Over the course of treatment, noticeable improvements will be seen. This treatment will be suitable even if the whole nail is infected.

In some cases oral tablets may be indicated but are best avoided due to their side-effect on the liver and kidneys.
