Fed up with Fungal Nails?
Tried all the home treatments with little or no success?
Highly effective treatments are available here.
There are a number of ways of treating fungal nails, most of them are fairly ineffective. A number of you will already have tried some of the many paints and solutions available from the pharmacies with little or no success. One of the other options is anti fungal tablets on prescription from your GP. These can work well, but come with some nasty side effects including possible liver function damage.
Fungal Nail Treatment at Monmouth Podiatry
Fungal nail infections can be stubborn, but they are treatable. At Monmouth Podiatry we offer two highly successful treatments, chosen according to how far the infection has spread.
Option 1: For mild to moderate infections
This treatment is gentle, comfortable and completely pain free.
-
Reduction: We use a spray burr to reduce the infected areas of the nail. This removes the majority of the infection and also noticeably improves the appearance of your nails.
-
Fenestration: We then make tiny holes in the affected nails so that topical anti-fungal solutions can penetrate more effectively.
-
Home care: You will be given an anti-fungal solution to use at home between appointments.
-
Follow-up: We see you every two months until the infection has cleared.
Option 2: For significant infections
When the infection has reached the root area of the nail, removing the nail is the only effective option. This is a very successful procedure.
-
The nail is removed under local anaesthetic, so you will not feel any pain.
-
The root area is thoroughly washed out with an anti-fungal treatment.
-
The nail then regrows fresh, free from infection.
