Nail Fungus Q & A
What is nail fungus?
Nail fungus is a common condition that occurs when fungus affects your fingernails or toenails. It often causes nail discoloration or deformities.
The fungus might look unsightly or spread to other parts of your body when left untreated. The experts at Thomas Dermatology can effectively eliminate nail fungus and prevent it from returning.
What are the symptoms of nail fungus?
Common signs and symptoms of nail fungus include nails that are:
- White
- Yellow
- Brown
- Crumbly
- Ragged
- Brittle
- Thickened
- Dark in color
- Distorted
- Foul-smelling
Nail fungus often affects your toenails, but it can appear in your fingernails as well. Complications that might occur with untreated nail fungus include permanent nail damage, reduced blood circulation, and the risk of bacterial skin infections.
What are the risk factors for nail fungus?
Anyone can get nail fungus, but some factors boost your risk of experiencing it. Examples include:
- Older age
- History of athlete’s foot
- Heavy sweating
- Walking barefoot in communal areas
- Diabetes
- Circulation problems
- Weakened immune system
- Minor nail injuries
- Skin injuries
- Psoriasis
Ways to reduce your risk of nail fungus include washing your feet and hands regularly, not walking around barefoot in locker rooms or other communal areas, trimming your nails straight across, changing your socks often, and wearing shoes made of breathable materials.
How does my doctor diagnose nail fungus?
To diagnose nail fungus and develop a treatment plan, your Thomas Dermatology specialist discusses your medical history, reviews your symptoms, and examines your nails.
They may have a lab evaluate nail clippings or debris they scrape from under your nails to identify the type of fungus that’s causing your infection.
What are the treatments for nail fungus?
Common treatments for nail fungus include:
Home remedies
Using over-the-counter antifungal creams and trimming your nails regularly can help get rid of minor fungal infections.
Medications
Prescription oral or topical medicines can eliminate nail fungus and restore fingernail and toenail health.
Surgery
Minor surgery helps your specialist remove an infected nail and treat it to prevent fungus from spreading.
Don’t live with unsightly nail fungus when simple treatments available at Thomas Dermatology can eliminate it. Call the nearest office to book an appointment or schedule online today.
