What Causes Nail Fungus?
Most nail problems are a result of a fungal infection. They usually start out as small white or yellow dots on the foot and grow over time. The fungus doesn’t always affect just the nails, however – it can also grow on the skin on your feet and around your toes, commonly known as Athlete’s Foot. These are not usually dangerous, but they are certainly uncomfortable and unattractive. Luckily, nail fungus and related concerns can be treated with effective treatments for nail fungus.
Patients often notice changes such as thickened, brittle, or discolored nails before realizing they have an infection. In many cases, yellow nails can be one of the first signs of a fungal nail problem.
Our Available Treatments For Nail Fungus Problems
Nail fungus and fungal problems can be addressed with a variety of medication or laser treatments. Depending on the severity of your condition, your provider may recommend a variety of treatments. Treatment options include topical medications, oral medications, and even a procedure called Laser Genesis. Our dermatologists will work with you to determine which nail fungus treatment option is best for you.
If you are unsure whether your symptoms are caused by fungus, it may help to learn more about what causes fungal nail infections and how they develop over time.
What Results Will I See?*
The goal is for complete clearance of the fungus, but results after treatment will vary depending on the type of treatment and how severe the infection was. It’s important that you follow all instructions from your team to ensure that you have the best possible chance at removing and keeping your fungal infection away.
Keeping the skin around your nails moisturized and healthy can also help support recovery. Patients with dry or irritated skin may benefit from choosing the right moisturizer for their skin type.
Is There Any Downtime?*
You can expect little to no downtime following your nail fungus treatments.
If your skin becomes irritated during treatment, you may also want to understand why skin can suddenly become sensitive. Some patients also benefit from adding medical-grade skincare products to their routine to maintain healthy skin and nails.
