Fungal Nail Treatment Dublin
What is a fungal toenail and how do you get rid of it?
What are the treatment options and how effective are they?
It is estimated that 10% of Europeans have an active fungal toenail infection, making it one of the more common condition we see in our foot clinics. Fungal toenail infection constitutes approximately 50% of all toenail conditions. An active infection can be moderately contagious but thankfully risk of transmission to loved ones can be reduced when the condition is managed correctly. With proper assessment, diagnosis and an individually tailored treatment plan even the most severe cases can be resolved.
At our foot clinics in Dublin patients can select from a comprehensive range of treatment options. When attending the clinic for the first time our honest and empathetic staff will discuss with you the various treatment modalities; their benefits, cost, success rates and potential side effects. If required in-house testing can also be performed to confirm diagnosis of fungal toenail infection on the spot. In some case your Podiatrist may also have to consult with your family GP to arrange prescription of oral antifungal medication.
Fungal toenail infections as notoriously difficult to resolve but after you see one of our Podiatrists you can rest easy knowing each treatment plan is geared specifically to your needs to achieve the best outcome.
