Fungal nail infections are common and can cause nails to become thick, brittle, or discoloured. At WA Health Group, our podiatrists assess and manage fungal nail conditions using safe, evidence-based care tailored to your needs.
At your appointment, we will:
Examine your nails and discuss your medical history.
Identify whether fungus is likely involved.
Explain suitable management options and expected timeframes.
Treatment may include:
Clinical nail care: thinning thickened nails to improve comfort and topical treatment effectiveness.
Topical antifungal products: applied regularly to help target infection.
Footwear and hygiene advice: to reduce recurrence.
Laser therapy (optional): offered where appropriate; results can vary.
If oral medicines are indicated, we may refer you to your GP.
Book an appointment if you have persistent nail changes, discomfort, or recurring infections. Our podiatrists are available at Canning Vale, Murdoch, and Burswood.
Your podiatrist will outline the likely benefits, risks, and limits of each option before proceeding. Nail improvement is gradual and varies between individuals. You will receive advice on preventing reinfection and maintaining nail health long term.
