Nail Fungus and Under the Nail Fungus (Symptoms, Triggers)

Nail fungus on hands and feet, also known as nail mycosis or onychomycosis, is an infectious disease. Nail fungus can cause not only aesthetic problems but also health complications, especially if not diagnosed and treated in time.

Fungal infection of the nail on the foot or hand (on the thumb and other fingers) can be characterized by various symptoms. Common changes include nail discoloration (often to yellow or brown), thickening of the nails, brittleness, or even nails separating from the nail bed. White or yellow spots may appear under the nail, which is another sign of infection. Surprisingly, nail fungus can also affect gel nails and be found under artificial nails.

The infection usually occurs due to contact with dermatophyte fungi, molds, or yeasts. These microorganisms are commonly present in the environment and can also spread from infected nails to healthy nails.

If you notice any suspicious symptoms of nail fungus, do not hesitate to schedule a consultation with our dermatologist. You can make an appointment at a specific time without waiting periods. Call us today to ensure quality care for your nails. Your health is our priority.

Nail Mycosis (Treatment)

How to cure nail fungus? First of all, it is necessary to consult with a dermatologist.

The treatment of nail fungus can be challenging and usually takes a longer time. There are prescription medications for nail fungus, often antimycotic drugs in the form of ointments, gels, or oral medications, depending on the severity of the infection and the individual needs of the patient. In some cases, another preparation, such as drops or cream, may be used, and in more severe infections or if the nails are damaged, surgical intervention may be necessary.

Nail fungus on the foot or hand is not just one type. There are several types, including:

Distal subungual onychomycosis (affecting the nail from its end),
Lateral onychomycosis (affecting the sides of the nails),
Proximal subungual onychomycosis (affecting the nail from its base).

Untreated Advanced Nail Fungus on the Feet

Untreated nail fungus can lead to permanent nail damage, such as nail loss, nail deformation, or even spreading the infection to other nails. In extreme cases, it can lead to an infection spreading to the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling, and other complications.

It is important to seek medical help for any symptoms. A doctor can make a diagnosis and suggest appropriate treatment to prevent the spread of the infection, avoid skin fungus on the body, and minimize the risk of complications.

My only regret is that I didn't sign up for a membership years ago! From the very first meeting with my GP (which was 90 minutes and she was really listening, nothing felt rushed) I have had really positive encounters with all the doctors, nurses, and staff at Atoda. They really do their best to make you feel comfortable and cared for. They take a holistic look at your health, the information is shared between doctors, and you can choose to see a specialist within the clinic or get a referral to another doctor where you insurance would cover so it's very flexible to your needs and budget. Most of all it just took all the stress out of visiting doctors and turned it into a pleasant and caring experience. Highly recommend.

Atoda Medical is a private facility and its prices are identical to other facilities of this kind. However, we, the clients, have a bonus in the form of superior services and I stand by that!!! All the doctors, nurses but also the receptionists form a great team in my opinion and I always look forward to this clinic. And I am not a patient who likes everything:-) I have my demands, which I cannot say that they are not met. That's why I have renewed my registration again and probably will remain so in the future. I would like to thank Mrs. Karolína Hrubá, who gained my trust and helped me a lot in a situation I didn't know how to handle.She is a person in her place and a great professional. :-) Thank you also to everyone else .....
