What Is Nail Fungus?
Nail fungus, also known as onychomycosis, is a common fungal infection that affects the nails of the hands and feet. It is caused by a group of fungi called dermatophytes, which thrive in warm, moist environments. It can cause the nails to become discolored, thickened and brittle, and can lead to pain and discomfort.
People at higher risk include those with a weakened immune system, those who frequently wear closed-toe shoes and those with a history of athlete's foot. Treatment options include topical and oral medications, laser therapy and surgical intervention. At our Barrie clinic, one of the options we offer is Fotona laser treatment.
