Toenail Fungus Symptoms

The most common toenail fungus symptom is discoloration of the toenail. It can vary from person to person. Most people see a yellow-ish discoloration. Also, it does not have to be the entire nail. The discoloration can be on a corner or sometimes even just half of your nail. Other discolorations include white streaks over the nail, brown discoloration, and sometimes even black discoloration,

Another common symptom is the thickening of the toenails. This makes it difficult to cut and trim your nails. It is important to maintain your nails. Our nail doctors recommend soaking your nails in warm water before trimming your nails. This allows your nails to soften.

Fungus Toenails Treatment

Laser Treatment for a Toenail Fungus 

Toenail fungus treatments in Encino can vary. 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 nail doctor in Encino, CA recommends 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.
