Fungal Nail Treatment
Fungal nail infections are a common problem that can cause your toenails to become thickened, discoloured, brittle, or crumbly. While they’re not usually serious, they can be uncomfortable and sometimes affect confidence — especially when wearing open shoes. The good news is that fungal nails can be treated effectively with the right care and ongoing management.

What’s Involved in Fungal Nail Treatment
During your appointment, our podiatrist will:
- Examine and assess the affected nails
- Gently reduce nail thickness and remove damaged areas
- Clean and tidy the nail to improve comfort and appearance
- Discuss treatment options, such as topical or oral antifungal treatments and fenistration
- Provide advice on how to care for your feet and prevent the infection from coming back
In some cases, we may recommend nail sampling or testing to confirm the presence of a fungal infection before starting specific treatment.
What to Expect
Your appointment is comfortable and completely safe.
We use specialist podiatry equipment to carefully reduce the nail’s thickness and clean the affected area. Many patients notice an immediate improvement in how their nails look and feel after the first visit. Follow-up appointments may be advised to maintain progress and monitor treatment results.
