Treatment for onychomycosis (nail fungus)

It is a fungal infection reflected in the nail plate (nail).

​

This condition can cause a loss of the normal color of the nail, onycholysis or detachment of the nail and in some cases whitlow or infection of the sides of the nail.

​

This problem can coexist with a fungal skin infection called dermatomycosis or commonly called athlete's foot,  generating cracks, maceration and itching in the plantar or interdigital areas of the affected foot.

​

The causes are diverse because a  increasing number of athletes, runners have this affectation due to the humidity and heat that is generated in our feet during exercise.

​

The treatment will consist of a  diagnosis through a culture and the PCR test, which will determine  What kind of fungus does the nail have?

​

These tests are necessary since we can adapt the treatment to counteract the type of fungus present in the nail or skin.
