Do you have thick yellow ugly toenails? Or maybe you are experiencing pain around your toenails or maybe your toenails are cracked and falling off? If so, you may have a toenail fungal infection, and it is important that you seek out a dedicated specialist to help you treat the infection before it gets worse.

The most common symptoms of a Fungal Toenail Infection

• Scaling under the toenail, which is called subungual hyperkeratosis
• White or yellow streaks on the toenail, which is called lateral onychomycosis
• A crumbling corner or tip of the toenail, which is called distal onychomycosis
• Flaking white areas on the toenails surface
• The appearance of yellow spots at the bottom of the toenail, which is called proximal onychomycosis
• Complete loss of the toenail
• A distorted nail that may lift off from the toenail bed
• A distinctive odor coming from the infected toenail
• Brittle or thickened toenail

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to consult with a podiatrist who is specialized in taking care of the feet. Our very experienced podiatrist Dr. Joyce is intensely focused on treating your feet to heal any stubborn conditions you may have.

Treatments

Depending on the type of infection you have and the severity of the infection we offer:
• Laser treatment that uses a laser light beam to penetrate the nail bed and kill the pathogens embedded in the toenail causing the toenail fungus. This is the most effective method for toenail fungal treatment.
• Over-the-counter liquid antifungal medication that is applied directly to the nail.
• Oral medications in the form of pills that kill the fungus by entering the bloodstream.
• Debridement which is when the diseased nail matter and debris is removed.
• In severe cases, surgical toenail fungus treatment may be required to remove the entire infected nail. Permanent removal of a chronically painful nail, which has not responded to any other treatment.
