What Is a Fungal Nail Infection?
Let’s get technical for a sec… 🧪
Fungal nail infections (aka Onychomycosis) are caused by living fungi that eat away at the keratin in your nails.
There are three main culprits:
🔸 Dermatophytes (most common)
🔸 Yeasts
🔸 Non-dermatophyte moulds
They thrive in warm, dark, damp spaces—like inside shoes 😷
Treatment is a journey, not a quick fix, but we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

🛠️ Ever heard of Toenail Bracing?
Here’s how it works:
🔩 A tiny titanium wire is applied to your nail
🧲 It gently lifts the edges of the nail to reshape growth
💡 Cured with an LED light, it stays on for 8-12 weeks
🔁 Every few months, we reapply to guide the nail as it grows
After about a year, you’ll have a healthier, properly-shaped nail—without surgery!

Funky-looking toenails? Don’t ignore them! 👀
It might be more than just a cosmetic issue.
Fungal nail infections (Onychomycosis) can show up as:
🔸 Thick, brittle or flaky nails
🔸 Yellow, brown, or white discoloration
🔸 Nails lifting off the nail bed
🔸 A “worm-eaten” or crumbly look
🔸 Even an unusual odour
If any of this sounds familiar, it’s time to check in with us.
👣 Early treatment = better outcomes!
📍 Book an appointment at Feet First Podiatry – we’ll get to the root of the issue.
