What is Toenail Fungus?

Toenail fungus is characterized by a change in the toenails color. It is prone to developing on the feet because fungi thrive in warm, dark places like shoes. Many people afflicted with the toenail fungus often wait to seek treatment because they don’t notice a problem. As it develops, however, toenail fungus can eventually cause pain.

What Causes Toenail Fungus?

One of the primary causes of toenail fungus is keeping your feet trapped inside of your shoes for a long period of time. The lack of air and increased moisture in the area is a breeding ground for fungi. These organisms are similar to molds and live below the surface of the nail, feeding off its keratin. Spending a lot of time in areas such as locker rooms, swimming pools, and showers can also worsen the condition. As the fungus grows, the nail will become thicker, yellowish-brown, and develop a bad smell. But there are steps you can take to address the issue.

 

Treating Toenail Fungus

By seeking the help of a skilled podiatrist, you can detect the fungal infection early. We can help determine the cause and develop a treatment plan that’s well suited for your specific needs. If you catch toenail fungus quickly, you can stop it from becoming a more serious problem down the road.

There are over the counter treatments available to help reduce the growth of the foot fungus. In addition to that, you can incorporate a daily cleansing routine to help suppress less severe infections and by wearing open toed shoes that allow your feet to breathe more. If those fail, a laser nail fungus treatment can help.

 

What is a Laser Nail Fungus Treatment?

A laser nail fungus treatment utilizes an advanced laser technology to help remove fungi from the nails of the feet. During the procedure, the laser is directed toward infected nails and eliminates the fungus with excellent precision. The laser can be adjusted to treat only the nails without damaging the surrounding tissue structures.

Some parts of the nail may feel a warm sensation, but this treatment is comfortable and patients can expect to experience no discomfort.
