Toenail fungus is a\ncommon condition that typically begins as a white or yellow spot under the tip\nof your fingernail or toenail.[1]<\/a>\nAbout 14% of Americans suffer from fungal nail infections,[2]<\/a>\nwith fungal infections responsible for 50% of all nail diseases.[3]<\/a>\nHaving nail fungus is usually painless at the beginning. As the fungal\ninfection goes deeper, nail fungus may cause your nail to discolor, thicken and\ncrumble at the edge. A more severe case may make wearing shoes painful.[4]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are seeing discoloration in your toenail or thickening of the toenail, you might want to come in and get tested for toenail fungus. Early diagnosis and treatment are recommended for everyone who has nail fungus. Caught early and treated, a fungal nail infection is likely to clear easily and a healthy nail will regrow in its place. Unlike many other podiatry clinics, Dr. Arti C. Amin<\/a> prioritizes getting to the root cause of what why you have toenail fungus. She can then evaluate how severe it is, so as to provide the best treatment plan for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Arti C. Amin<\/a> is focused on getting to the root cause of the problem. She will examine and run tests so as to fully understand the reasons why toenail fungus exists on your toenails. Fungal nail infections are caused by various fungal organisms. The most common cause is a type of fungus called dermatophyte. Yeast and molds can also cause nail infections.[5]<\/a> For a less severe case, Dr. Amin<\/a> may simply recommend a topical fungal treatment. She\u2019ll tell you exactly how often to apply and for how long. However, in some severe cases, she may recommend an appropriate internal medication to treat the fungus. A severe case of nail fungus can be painful and may cause permanent damage to your nails. In some cases, it could lead to other serious infections that spread beyond your feet if you have a suppressed immune system due to medication, diabetes or other conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some podiatrists\nmay offer laser treatment as a quick esthetic solution, Dr. Amin does not\nprescribe laser treatment for nail fungus as it does not treat the root cause\nof the problem. Unfortunately, repeat infections are common.[6]<\/a>\nDr. Amin is determined to address the cause of your toenail fungus so that it\ndoes not return. She can also offer you specific advice, tailored to your\nunique situation, to prevent the fungus from returning<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fed Up of Ugly\nToenails?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
