How Nail Fungus Treatment Can Suppress Infections

Nail fungus is often embarrassing, especially when you want to wear sandals in the summer. It can also be uncomfortable and itchy. Your podiatrist can help. Dr. Neda Arojmandi at Laguna Woods Podiatry Group in Laguna Hills, CA, offers comprehensive podiatry services, including nail fungus treatment.

What You Need To Know About Nail Fungus

You can develop nail fungus easily from going barefoot in public places like swimming pools, gym showers, and locker rooms. The fungus that causes infection thrives in warm, moist areas and can burrow underneath your nails. Thankfully, a highly effective treatment option is laser nail fungus therapy.

Laser treatment uses focused heat and light energy to destroy the fungal infection. It targets the fungus at the source and helps protect against future infections.

Laser nail fungus treatment is:

• Safe, having been rigorously tested and FDA-approved

• Comfortable, as it targets only the fungus, leaving surrounding tissue unharmed

• Healthy, stimulating the growth of clear, strong, healthy nails

Even with treatment, prevention remains important. To avoid reinfection, wear flip-flops in public areas and never share socks or shoes.

When to Seek Treatment

You should contact your podiatrist if you notice any of the following symptoms:

• Nails that are thickened, darkened, or yellowed

• Deformed or bent nail shape

• Brittle, crumbly, or ragged texture

• Separation of the nail from the nail bed

• A persistent foul odor

If left untreated, nail fungus can become harder to manage and may even require more invasive intervention.
