A fungal nail infection, also called onychomycosis, often starts subtly. A small patch of yellowing, a nail that thickens, crumbles, or lifts, or discomfort in shoes. In Singapore’s warm, humid climate, it is easy for fungus to persist and spread from one nail to the next.
At The Foot Practice, our podiatrists assess your nails and surrounding skin to determine whether the changes are truly fungal and to rule out other causes.
Care focuses on improving comfort and supporting healthy regrowth, including careful nail reduction, hygiene and moisture-control advice, and guidance on footwear and sock selection to reduce the risk of reinfection. If you have diabetes or reduced sensation, it is important to address thick nails early, as thick nails can increase pressure and lead to skin breakdown.
If your nails continue to worsen, book a podiatry assessment.
