Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis)
Onychomycosis affects an estimated 10% of the general population, and is significantly more common in people over 70. It's highly resistant to over-the-counter treatments because the nail plate limits penetration of topical products.
Treatment
We confirm the diagnosis with nail culture before starting treatment. Options include prescription topical antifungals, oral antifungals, and nail debridement to reduce fungal load. We don't guess at treatment, accurate diagnosis changes the approach and improves outcomes.
