Fungal Toenail Treatment in Delray Beach

Thickened, discolored toenail

Dr. Celine Soltani evaluates and treats fungal and abnormal toenails at Foot Doctor of Delray. Not every thick or discolored toenail is caused by fungus, so proper evaluation can be important before beginning treatment.

Possible Signs

  • Yellow, white, or brown discoloration
  • Thickened nails
  • Brittle or crumbly nails
  • Distorted nail shape
  • Nails that are difficult to trim
  • Discomfort
  • Separation of the nail from the nail bed

Risk Factors

Fungal nails may be associated with athlete’s foot, moist environments, nail injury, increasing age, diabetes, circulation problems, certain medical conditions, or exposure in communal areas.

Treatment

Treatment depends on the diagnosis, severity, and medical history. Topical treatment may be an effective option for appropriate patients, particularly when treatment is started early. Other treatment may include oral medication, professional nail care, or other appropriate options.

Medical nail care is also available through our Certified Medical Nail Technician

Prevention

Keeping feet clean and dry, changing socks regularly, using appropriate footwear in communal areas, treating athlete’s foot, and avoiding shared nail instruments may help reduce recurrence.
