Fungal Nail Infection

Onychomycosis, for example, also referred to as fungal nail infection, is the most common pathogenic infection of the fingernails or toenails. It causes overgrowth of fungi such as dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds. The infection leads to discoloration, thickening, brittleness, and distortions of the nails. Treatments like Aerolase Laser Treatment can help improve nail appearance by targeting fungal overgrowth.

Common Reasons for Nail Fungus

Fungal nail infections are quite persistent and very difficult to treat, which makes them quite a nuisance and causes discomfort and aesthetic problems. We at Halcyon Medispa provide specialist Nail Fungus Treatment in London.

Exposing Fungus

  • Nail fungus generally tends to happen with exposure to fungi found in public spaces, in a gym, or at the swimming pool and shared showers.
  • A weak immune system makes an individual more susceptible to developing fungal infections.
  • Footwear and Hygiene. Fungus grows in tight, airtight shoes along with inadequate personal hygiene practices.

Nail Trauma

  • Injuries or trauma to the nail or surrounding skin can create openings through which fungi can enter, leading to infection. Regularly biting nails or picking at the skin around the nails can also increase susceptibility.

Medical Conditions

  • The presence of conditions, such as diabetes, psoriasis, and circulatory problems, increases the risk of fungal infection.
