Onycomycosis (Fungal Nail)
A nail which is infected with a fungal infection. It can vary from mild-severe, causing changes to the nail plate which some find unsightly and bothersome. It can contribute to a thickened, discoloured, mis-shapen, crumbling nail affecting the growth of the nail plate
Treatments
Nail reduction Reduction of the nail can reduce the discomfort experienced by thickened fungal nails and improve the appearance of the nail temporarily, it does not cure the fungal infection. Topical ointments There are hundreds of different topical nail treatments that can be purchased from the pharmacy, supermarket or online. It is important to visit a podiatrist who will let you know which treatment to use, and importantly, how to use it properly to get the maximum effect.
Other treatments may be available with clinic assessment.
Corns & Calluses
- Calluses are caused by friction and repetitive pressure on the skin.
- This could happen due to:
- Friction and pressure from repeated movements.
- Ill-fitting shoes.
- Walking barefoot.
- Standing on your feet for long periods of time.
- Conditions that change the alignment of your bones, such as arthritis, bunions, and hammertoes.
Symptoms
- A raised bump on the skin
- Hardness of the bump
- Pain under the skin
- Dry skin
- Flaky skin
- A rough patch of skin
Treatment
- Changing shoes and adding padding.
- Using a surgical blade to carefully shave away thickened, dead skin.
- Performing callus removal by scraping the outer surface.
- Using chemical treatments to pare down the thickened skin.
- Providing footpads and toe protection.
Corns can often have a visible (nucleus) in the form a dark spot in the middle of the hard skin, this requires debridement and enucleation of the core to alleviate symptoms. Treatment should be pain free but some patients may experience mild discomfort.
Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail often affects the big toe, either on one or both sides. The nail curls and pierces the skin which becomes red, swollen and tender.
An ingrowing toenail (onychocryptosis) is a spike or serrated edge of the nail which pierces the outer layer of skin (epidermis). This penetrates the skin (dermal tissues). The big toe (hallux) is most likely to be affected by an ingrowing nail. As the nail grows, it causes inflammation and infection. Normal healing can’t take place. There is an increase in tissue growth (hypergranulation).
Symptoms include localized discomfort and flu-like symptoms.
The stages of an ingrowing toenail are the sulcus becomes inflamed, then there is active infection (pus), then infection sets in and there is hypergranulation of the surrounding tissue.
Causes can include:
- Poor nail cutting
- Ill-fitting footwear and the shoe material/construct
- Hosiery affecting skin integrity
- Excess sweating (hyperhidrosis)
- Biomechanical problems
- Soft tissue/bone abnormality
- Nail pathology/deformity
Treatment can include:
- An ingrowing tool to reveal the serrated edge
- The use of a blacks file (a small serrated file)
- Ingrown nail nippers
Post-treatment includes:
- Cleansing the digit
- Appropriate dressing of the digit
- Follow up advice
- Referral as required if the nail requires surgery or more invasive treatment.
