FUNGAL INFECTIONS 

Fungal Nail Treatment

 

Fungal nail infections occur when fungi affect the toenails, causing them to become discoloured, thickened, brittle, or distorted. These infections thrive in warm, damp environments such as sweaty shoes or communal changing areas. They can be stubborn, and if left untreated, may lead to discomfort or further nail damage.

 

Accurate Diagnosis Matters

 

Diagnosing a fungal infection by sight alone can be difficult. Many nail conditions share similar appearances, making visual diagnosis unreliable.

At Regency Footcare, we offer an innovative 5-minute fungal test that accurately detects fungal infections using a small nail or skin sample.

 

Efficient and Reliable Results

 

Our state-of-the-art Diafactory testing kit provides results in just five minutes, allowing for quick diagnosis and the start of appropriate treatment without unnecessary delays.

 

Identifying Fungal Infections

 

Fungal nail disorders can mimic other conditions, which is why professional testing is essential. Podiatrists are trained to identify the signs of fungal infection, but NICE guidelines recommend confirming the diagnosis through testing before starting treatment. This ensures that any prescribed antifungal therapy is both targeted and effective.
