 Fungal Nails

Onychomycosis, fungal infection of the nail, is often ignored because the infection can be present for years without causing any type of pain. The disease is characterized by a progressive change in a toenail's color and quality, which is often embarrassing and ugly.

Actually, the condition is an infection that occurs underneath the surface of the nail caused by fungi. When the tiny organisms take hold, the nail often becomes foul smelling and darker in color. White marks frequently appear on the nail plate, debris may collect underneath the nail plate, and the infection is capable of spreading to other toenails, the skin, or even the fingernails. If this condition is ignored, the infection can spread and possibly impair one's ability to walk or work. This happens because the resulting thicker nails are difficult to trim and make walking painful when wearing footwear. It is important to note that onychomycosis can also be accompanied by a secondary bacterial or yeast infection in or about the nail plate.

Because of the difficulty involved with avoiding contact with microscopic organisms like fungi, the toenails are especially vulnerable around damp areas where people are likely to be walking barefoot; for example, swimming pools, showers, and locker rooms. Injury or trauma to the nail bed may make it more susceptible to all types of infection, including fungal infection. Those who suffer from chronic diseases, such as circulatory problems, diabetes, or immune-deficiency conditions, are especially prone to experiencing fungal nails. Other contributing factors may be a history of athlete's foot and excessive perspiration of the foot.

Dr. Mark Green of Kansas City Foot and Ankle discusses Laser Treatment for Fungal Toenails.

 http://www.kansascityfootandankle.com

 Imagine how great it will be to wear sandals again!

Kansas City Foot and Ankle regularly sees patients with the condition known as Onychomycosis or fungal toenails.  Onychomycosis is a fungal infection that lives on the bed of the toenail and between the layers of the nail.  This infection can be difficult to get rid of.  Up to 13% of people in the U.S. suffer from fungal toenails.

 

Laser Treatment 

Kansas City Foot and Ankle features the Q-Clear Laser Treatment.  This very effective, 10 MINUTE  laser treatment kills the fungus without the hassle of topical medications and the potential side effects of the pills.  You will be able to resume your normal activities right away. 

·        The laser treatment is:

• A Quick In-Office Procedure
• Painless

·        Safe & Effective

 

Why Q-Clear?  The Q-Clear laser is a mid-infrared laser wavelength that penetrates the nail, eliminating the destructive infections and revitalizing your nail as it grows out.  Like several other lasers used in podiatry, it is FDA cleared for treatment of fungal toenails.  But while other lasers create a thermal effect, the Q-Clear creates short, but extremely powerful pulses of laser energy, so it’s mechanism of action is actually through a mechanical or “shockwave” effect, with very little heating. It destroys the fungus without heating up the tissue.  So there is very little potential for discomfort or burning of the tissue with the Q-Clear, as compared to other lasers.

 

Kansas City Foot and Ankle also offers more traditional treatment options for fungal toenails:

 

Topical treatments require the patient to apply medication to the infected toenails once or twice daily for up to a year.  The success rate in killing the fungus with topical medication is only between 15-30%.

 

Oral medications have a higher success rate, but also have potential side effects.  The medication can affect your liver and can alter your sense of taste.   Pregnant women or people with liver issues should not take the oral medications.

If you wear nail polish, Dr. Green recommends Dr.’s REMEDY Nail Polish to fight fungus.  Regular nail polish actually promotes fungal growth.  It acts as a barrier, creating a dark, moist environment beneath the nail; a perfect setup for fungus.  If you’re going to wear nail polish, make sure it’s Dr’s REMEDY anti-fungal nail polish.

Dr. Marc Borovoy of Associated Podiatrists, P.C. discusses Laser Treatment for Fungal Toenails.

http://www.associatedpodiatristspc.com

The most common cause of yellowed, thick and /or deformed toenails is a fungal infection of the toenail. The infection usually starts at the tip of the nail and works its way back. A single toenail or any number of nails can be affected. Over time, the nail becomes thickened, crumbly, and distorted in appearance. The fungus prefers an environment that is moist, dark, and warm, which is why it affects the toenails much more often than fingernails.

  Fungal nails refers to any number of fungal nail infections that can occur on the foot. Since fungal nails are usually more resistant and more difficult to treat than Athlete's Foot, topical or oral antifungal medications may be prescribed. Note: Please consult a physician before taking any medications. Permanent nail removal is another possible form of treatment for tenacious fungal nails.

Preventing Fungal Nail Infections

After a fungal nail infection has cleared up, take steps to prevent the infection from recurring. Keeping fungi at bay will help prevent a fungal infection of the skin from reinfecting the nail. Before bed, thoroughly wash and dry your feet, and apply a nonprescription antifungal cream to the entire foot from the ankle down. Use the cream every night, then gradually apply it less often. Keep your feet dry. Dry feet are less likely to become infected. Apply powder to your dry feet after you take a shower or bath.

Other suggestions for preventing fungal nails include:

• Don't share nail clippers or nail files with others.
• Don't share shoes or socks with others.
• Try not to injure your nail, such as by cutting it too short (trauma to the nail may lead to infections).
• Wear dry cotton socks and change them two or three times a day if necessary.
• Wear dry shoes that allow air to circulate around your feet (tight, enclosed, moist shoes contribute to fungal toenail infections).
• Wear shower sandals or shower shoes when you are at a public pool or shower.

Prevention

Follow basic foot care guidelines and, more than likely, you can head off most common foot fungus problems.
