You may be treating a nail with anti-fungal treatments when it is NOT a fungus.

Nail fungus, also known as onychomycosis, is a common condition that can cause nails to become discolored, thickened, and brittle. It often starts as a small white or yellow spot under the tip of the nail but can spread deeper into the nail if left untreated, leading to more significant symptoms and complications.

Identifying whether your nail changes are due to a fungal infection is crucial for appropriate treatment. Several diagnostic methods exist, each with its advantages and limitations. For an effective, one the spot diagnosis, the Family Podiatry Centre uses a test similar to a Covid-19 test strip. This way you don't land up treating a nail for the wrong condition for months on end without results.

Foot warts, verruca pedis, are infections that are caused by a virus that has many different sub-types. Some infections cause just one wart that increases in size slowly until it becomes painful. Other sub-types spread rapidly forming multiple small warts over the feet.

Warts are commonly mistaken for corns. Your podiatrist will be able to distinguish between the two. Both warts and corns should be addressed early before they worsen and become harder to fix.

🍊✨ Celebrating Kindness and Community this Chinese New Year ✨🍊

As we usher in the new year with hopes, dreams, and aspirations, we’re reminded of the beauty of thoughtful gestures and the strength of our community. Today, I want to share a heartwarming moment brought to us by the incredible kindness of one of our patients.

In the spirit of Chinese New Year, we received a gift that was as delightful to the taste as it was to the eyes - beautiful, individually wrapped mandarin oranges. 🧧 Each orange, a symbol of prosperity and good fortune, was not only a treat to our taste buds but also a testament to the thoughtful and appreciative spirit of those we are fortunate enough to serve.

This gesture goes beyond the tradition of giving; it reflects the deep connection and mutual respect between us and our wonderful patients. It’s a reminder of how, together, we create a supportive and caring community.

We are beyond grateful for this sweet, thoughtful gift and even more for the opportunity to be a part of your journey towards health and well-being. Your trust, understanding, and appreciation fuel our commitment to providing the best care possible.

As we continue to navigate the year ahead, let’s carry this spirit of kindness, appreciation, and community with us. Here’s to health, happiness, and a year filled with prosperous moments for all!

From all of us at the Family Podiatry Centre, thank you for brightening our day and for letting us be a part of your life. 🌟
