​Fungal toenail infections can be unsightly, uncomfortable, and persistent, but at KRG Podiatry, we offer professional care to help you restore the health and appearance of your nails. Our tailored fungal toenail treatments are designed to target infections effectively and prevent recurrence.​
​


What Is a Fungal Nail Infection?
A fungal toenail infection, also known as onychomycosis, occurs when fungi invade the nail bed. It often leads to symptoms such as:
- Thickened, brittle, or crumbly nails
- Discolouration (yellow, brown, or white spots)
- Distorted nail shape
- Pain or discomfort, especially in severe cases
Symptoms of an Ingrown Toenail
You may need treatment for an ingrown toenail if you are experiencing:
- Pain or tenderness along the side of the nail.
- Swelling, redness, or warmth around the nail.
- Signs of infection, such as pus or discharge.
- Difficulty walking due to discomfort.
