Tackling Toenail Fungus at Central Florida Foot & Ankle Institute

Toenail fungus is a common condition that can be persistent, unsightly, and sometimes painful. At Central Florida Foot & Ankle Institute, we offer advanced treatment options to effectively combat fungal nail infections, helping you reclaim the health and appearance of your nails.

Understanding Fungal Nail Infections

A fungal nail infection, medically known as onychomycosis, occurs when a fungus invades the nail bed and nail plate. This can lead to nail discoloration, thickening, and crumbling edges. Factors that can increase your risk of developing toenail fungus include age, a damp environment for the feet, and walking barefoot in communal areas.

Symptoms of Fungal Nail Infections

Keep an eye out for the following signs:

  • Yellow, brown, or white discoloration in one or more of your toenails
  • Thickening or distortion of the nail's shape
  • Brittleness or crumbling of the nail
  • A slightly foul smell

Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach

Treating fungal nail infections can be challenging, but with our comprehensive approach, we maximize the chance of a cure:

  • Topical Treatments: Antifungal creams or lacquers applied directly to the nail.
  • Oral Medications: Systemic treatment for more severe cases or when topical treatments are ineffective.
  • Laser Therapy: A modern, safe, and effective treatment method that targets the fungus underneath the nail without damaging the surrounding tissue.
  • Preventive Strategies: Guidance on how to avoid recurrence and maintain healthy nails.
