Toenail Fungus Q&A
What is toenail fungus?
Toenail fungus may cause thickness, discoloration, and sometimes discomfort for patients. It is also a contagious infection. It often starts on one spot on one nail and spreads. Over time, it may spread to all 10 toenails and sometimes even fingernails.
How does toenail fungus spread?
Fungus thrives in dark, moist, and warm settings. A sweaty shoe is a perfect environment for fungus. Infections are also commonly picked up by walking barefoot in public pools, showers, and/or gyms. Fungs may enter one’s body through a small cut in the skin or nails. Once infection starts it will quickly spread if left untreated.
When should I see a foot specialist for toenail fungus?
Many people ignore all the warning signs of toenail fungus when they first notice them. This is the worst thing that you can do. The infection typically just gets worse over time and the more severe the infection, the harder it is to treat. Over time, the infected toenails may start separating from the nail bed. Your nail will eventually loosen and may fall off. This process can be very painful.
In our office, our podiatrist will provide you with a proper diagnosis to confirm that your problem is a toenail fungus and then recommend the best treatment option specifically for you. Our fungus specialist in Las Vegas, NV will also explain to you all the ways you may prevent future fungal infections.
How is toenail fungus treated?
If you have caught nail fungus, it can be easily treated using the FDA-approved PinPointe laser, which typically only takes on treatment. Other treatments like topical solutions and oral medication are not as effective. Topical solutions have a very low cure rate. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way through the nail bed. This is because it can lead to liver toxicity. You would need to have consistent blood tests throughout the course of taking the medication.
Our Toenail Fungus Specialists in Sacramento recommend this treatment for toenail fungus. The PinPointe Laser treatment has the highest cure rate in the market. It has no side effects and no recovery period. As a result, you can go about your daily activities right after the treatment. Also, there’s no pain.
