Nail Infections Treatment Online

Get Nail Infections Treatment Online

Nail infections are often caused by a fungus, which attacks toenails more than fingernails. It starts with yellow to brown spot under the nail and goes deeper. It may affect more than one nail at a time. It can be painful and cause blackening of nails. Treatment cannot nullify the chances of remission.

If you are experiencing similar symptoms, consult our doctor at Your Doctors Online for the treatment and prescription of antifungal therapy for nail infections.

Symptoms and Causes

Nail fungus, or onychomycosis, can lead to thickened, discolored, and fragile nails that may be separated from the nail bed. While most fungal nail infections are not severe, they can make your nails look ugly and often cause uneasiness. Toenail fungal infections are more common as compared to fingernail infections. The common symptoms of nail infections include: 

  • Discoloration of nails
  • Brittle or crumbled nails
  • Thickened nails
  • Separated from the nail bed
  • Smelly nail

Anyone can get a fungal nail infection, but certain factors, such as older age, nail injuries, foot deformities, diabetes, weakened immune systems, and poor leg circulation, can increase the risk. In patients with compromised immunity or diabetic patients, both bacterial and fungal infections can occur at the same time as well.

Laser treatment has both pros and cons. The biggest pro is it provides fast relief and is the fastest method to kill the fungus. However, the con is that it may only work for some, and even if it works, it cannot guarantee complete recovery, and chances of re-emission will remain there.

Should I go to the doctor for an infected fingernail?

If your fingernail is painful and filled with pus, consult a doctor for treatment. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics as the pus indicates a paronychia bacterial infection. If the infection is fungal, a suitable antifungal will work instead.
