Fungal Nail Infection

At Infinity Foot Clinic, we provide expert care for fungal nail infections to restore nail health and appearance. Our specialists address discolouration, thickening, and brittleness with treatments that support lasting recovery.

Why treating fungal nail infections is important?

Fungal nail infections are a common condition that can affect people of all ages. They often start with one nail and, if left untreated, may spread to others. Typical signs include discolouration from pink to yellow, grey, or green, thickened edges from hyperkeratosis, grooves, and brittleness that make nails more fragile.

At Infinity Foot Clinic, we focus on accurate diagnosis, including the identification of the fungus type through a mycological test. This helps determine the most effective treatment plan. Care may involve removing damaged nail areas, cleansing the infection site, and reconstructing the nail plate, all tailored to your individual needs.

  • Stops the infection from spreading to other nails
  • Restores healthier nail appearance and structure
  • Relieves discomfort linked to thickened or brittle nails
  • Provides a personalised treatment plan for lasting results
  • Supports overall foot health and hygiene

How to recognize the ingrown toenail in a child ?

The ingrown toenail in a child looks the same as in adults. The first symptom is the redness around the nail. This is worth noticing that most little children are not able to tell us that they feel discomfort due to the ingrown toenail. Therefore, it is parents who should control the condition of their child’s growing nails. It is advisable to do it before the bath as the skin is not yet too much softened and it is easy to notice such problem.

Corn is a type of callus which is formed due to increased pressure or friction. In this place the skin produces excessive epidermal cells to protect against detrimental mechanical factors. If callus is not properly removed, the dead cells build up deep into the skin and form so called core of the corn. The corn often becomes painful when it reaches live and nerved layers of the skin. This is a yellowish change with a little bit darker centre.

The corn is most often located on the following part of the foot:
– plantar
– foot arch
– heel
– toes and areas between the toes

Verrucas:
Viral warts contrary to the corns are not caused by increased pressure or friction. They are caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). There are two types of this virus affecting our feet:
– HPV1 is responsible for formation of big and deep verrucas.
– HPV2 causes so called viral mosaic warts which are shallower, but more scattered.
This infection is spread by direct skin-to skin contact. The most commonly the infection might be contracted in the swimming pool i.e. public venues where people usually walk bare-foot. This also concerns hotel rooms, wearing borrowed shoes which were previously worn by HPV infected person. The virus can dwell in the skin even for a few months and then activate in the condition of immune system decline, illness and stress.

Can ingrown toenail drain pus ?

Yes, the ingrown toe can become strongly inflammated and drain pus. Typically, this condition develops when the problem is noticed too late. Such problem might also arise due to improper foot care straight after some treatment procedures e.g. surgical nail removal. If your toenail drains pus it is necessary to see the doctor immediately in order to prevent infection spread through the whole organism.

Fungal nail infection results from feet fungal infection. This type of disease can be even unnoticed. It shows the symptoms of swelling and burning feet. As much as 21% of population suffer from this disease. It is caused by candida, moulds and dermatophytes. The disease affects finger and toenails. It may affect any number of nail plates, but sometimes only one. However, the most often it affects the first and the fifth toenail which is caused by tightness of shoes. Fungal infection can be contracted in swimming pools, baths and saunas. You can also get infected by wearing not your own shoes, socks or using not your own foot care instruments. Obesity, diabetes, anaemia or endocrine, gastro-intestinal, circulatory and immunity disorder make people more likely prone to fungal infections. There are many reasons. Antibiotic therapy, steroids, chemotherapy might also lead to fungal infections. Specific conditions such as heat and humidity may increase the risk of this type of infection. Surprisingly, the damaged nails as well as the nails damaged after the use of nail polish are very likely to be infected. The proper nail care prevents nails from contracting the disease.
