There are a few different treatment options for fungal nails, the treatment which may be best suited to you is dependent on the severity of the infection and a number of factors following the assessment.

 

With any fungal nail treatment intervention, it can take anything from 6-18 months for the infection to fully clear. This is because the anti-fungal treatments stop further growth of fungal elements, which allows a healthy nail to regrow, and toenails grow slower than finger nails.

​

If the nail is thickened this can be ground down and cleaned thoroughly which provides an appropriate base to start using nail laquer. If oral anti-fungal medication is needed a prescription request will be sent to the GP practice.

Nail construction can provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the nail. This however does not cure the fungal infection.
