Fungal Nail Infection

Fungal nail infections, also known as onychomycosis, are common conditions that affect the nails on the fingers or toes. They are caused by various types of fungi, including dermatophytes, yeasts, and non-dermatophyte molds. These infections can lead to discoloured, thickened, and brittle nails, often causing discomfort and sometimes pain.

Risk Factors for fungal nail infections:

  • Sweating Heavily: Creates a favorable environment for fungi to grow.
  • Athlete’s Foot: Can spread to nails if untreated.
  • Diabetes: Reduced circulation increases risk.
  • Immune System: Weakened immunity can lead to infections.
  • Poor Nail Hygiene: Increases vulnerability to infections.

 

Please note: This service can only prescribe an oral antifungal tablet (Fluconazole or Terbinafine). Topical treatments are not effective for fungal nail infections.
