FUNGAL NAIL TREATMENTS Include:
fungal nail treatment manchester
Consultant dermatologists are experts in the treatment of nails. Having normal nails is something most of us take for granted. When nails are abnormal, they can have an impact on the quality of life both from a mechanical point of view and a cosmetic point of view.
Nails can be involved in many skin diseases such as psoriasis, lichen planus or eczema and can be a reflection of internal health. Fungal nail infections are also common and can be treated appropriately by using correct antifungal treatments.
Other causes of nail abnormalities include congenital conditions (ones you have inherited from your parents), although these are generally rare; and other acquired conditions like lichen planus, alopecia areata and fungal nail infections.
How Are Fungal Nails Treated?
Nail diseases can be treated in different ways, depending on the cause of the disease. This may be with antibiotics or antifungal agents, therapy aimed at treating eczema or psoriasis, surgery or with lasers. Your condition will be assessed and the most appropriate treatment option discussed with you.
