FOOT TIP TUESDAY: FUNGAL TOENAILS
Thick, yellow, unsightly toenails can be challenging and embarrassing. Patients ask, “Is it a fungus? Is it treatable?” The answer is yes! We have great success with the use of several treatment methods which may include one of, or a combination of, any of the following:
-Laser treatment
-Mechanical thinning of the nail in the office
-Topical antifungal ointments
-Oral antifungal agents
-Removal of the infected nail and careful protection of the growing, healthy replacement nail.
Following a simple evaluation, we are able to individualize the treatment plan best suited for any patient.
