Podiatrists specialise in treating various foot conditions, including fungal nails.
​
​
Fungal nails, also known as onychomycosis, is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is caused by a fungal infection that affects the toenails, making them thick, discolored, and brittle. The infection can spread from one nail to another and can also affect the skin around the toenail.
​
If you are suffering from fungal nails, we can help...
Our podiatrists are trained and experienced in diagnosing and treating fungal nail infections. We use the latest techniques and technology to provide you with the best possible care.
​
At MyPodiatry Limerick, we offer a comprehensive treatment plan that includes:
​​
-
Topical Antifungal Medications - We recommend topical antifungal medications that you can apply directly to your toenails. These medications are effective in treating mild to moderate fungal nail infections.
-
Oral Antifungal Medications - For severe cases of fungal nail infections, we may prescribe oral antifungal medications. These medications are more potent than topical medications and can help clear up the infection more quickly.
-
Toenail Filing- We may also recommend filing your toenails to reduce the thickness and pressure on the affected nails. This can help relieve pain and discomfort. This also helps other treatments work better!
-
Toenail Removal Surgery - Some cases are so bad we remove them surgically! Don't worry they grow back in time and are healthier than ever.
​
Make sure to get a consultation for advice as there are a lot of treatments out there that people claim are the best but you would be surprised of the the actual results!
​
In addition to these treatments, we also provide advice on how to prevent fungal nail infections in the future. This includes practicing good foot hygiene, avoiding sharing nail clippers or other tools, and wearing breathable footwear.
