Fungal nails - Propulsion Podiatry

Fungal skin and nail infections

This condition develops over time and may lead to a thickened, brittle, discoloured nail.

The first step is to confirm the presence of a fungal infection using a sample of the nail, (painless and takes 5 mins). If an infection is present your podiatrist will discuss the options available.

Lacuna Treatment

This involves drilling small holes into the nail to allow penetration of anti fungal agents.

We require at least 24 hours notice for cancellations or charges will still be applied:

New patients charged in full £45
