We offer effective fungal nail infection treatment with rapid diagnosis and treatment for the whole environment to prevent reinfection.

If you are suffering from a fungal nail infection, then you are not alone. Its medical name, Onychomycosis, is most often caused by Athletes foot spreading from the skin to the toenail. It can also be caused by trauma to the nail and dermatophytes then invade the nail plate.

The third most common skin infection in the world is caused often by the Dermatophyte – Tinea Pedis, and is more commonly known as Athlete’s foot. Athlete’s foot infections can lead to itching, inflamed, uncomfortable skin which can sometimes have a foul smelling odour, and can have a huge and detrimental impact to normal life if left untreated.

A mild case of athlete’s foot may be easy to treat using an over-the-counter anti-fungal cream

However as three percent of the adult UK population are said to have a fungal nail infection and recurrence rates of infections have been found to be as high as 87%, it would be wise to make an appointment with your local and professional podiatrist.

Although you can speak to your GP, you may be advised to try over the counter treatments first, these can take up to 12 months to take effect. They may also require a sample to be tested at a lab which can lead to further delays in treatment.
