Fungal Infections Treatment for Toenails and Skin
At Phoenix Podiatry, we specialize in the treatment of fungal infections affecting the toenails and skin of the feet. Fungal infections, such as toenail fungus (onychomycosis) and athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), can cause discomfort, discoloration, and affect the overall health and appearance of your feet. Our experienced podiatrists offer effective treatment options to help you overcome these fungal infections and restore the health of your toenails and skin.
Our fungal infections treatment options include:
Professional Evaluation and Diagnosis: During your consultation, our podiatrists will carefully examine your toenails and skin to determine the presence and extent of the fungal infection. We may also conduct tests, such as nail clippings or skin scrapings, for accurate diagnosis and identification of the specific fungal species.
Topical Antifungal Medications: For mild to moderate fungal infections, we may recommend the use of topical antifungal medications. These medications are applied directly to the affected area and work to eliminate the fungal infection over time. Our podiatrists will provide instructions on how to properly apply the medication for optimal results.
Nail Debridement and Trimming: To aid in the treatment of toenail fungal infections, our podiatrists may perform nail debridement and trimming. This process involves carefully removing any thickened or infected nail tissue, allowing better penetration of the topical antifungal medication and promoting healthy nail growth.
Foot Hygiene and Care: Proper foot hygiene is essential for managing fungal infections. Our podiatrists will provide you with guidance on how to maintain good foot hygiene, including washing and drying your feet thoroughly, keeping your nails trimmed, and using antifungal powders or sprays as recommended.
Prevention Strategies: Preventing the recurrence of fungal infections is important. Our podiatrists will provide you with information on preventive strategies, such as wearing breathable footwear, using protective footwear in public areas, and avoiding prolonged moisture on the feet.
Follow-Up Care: We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust the treatment plan if needed. Our podiatrists are dedicated to ensuring the best possible outcomes and will provide ongoing support and guidance throughout your treatment.
At Phoenix Podiatry, we are committed to providing individualized care for fungal infections affecting the toenails and skin. Our goal is to effectively treat the infection, alleviate your symptoms, and restore the health and appearance of your feet.
