If your toenail(s) have become thick and discoloured, it is possible that your nails may have a fungal infection. The fungus may infect only one toenail but commonly a fungal infection is found in more than one nail. Several treatment options are used to fight fungal nail infections ranging from oral medications to various topical medications. However, proper reduction of the thickened nail and minimizing the amount of infected nail is very important to get quick and effective results with any modality that is chosen. Some practitioners avoid treating fungal nails because of the low success rates, but at the Mount Joy Foot Clinic, we take the time to set-up a personalized plan with the appropriate treatment options to help get rid of the fungus and have had excellent success rates.
