Fungal Nail Infection
-
Often presents with thick, discoloured and loosened nails with underlying debris. Frequently accompanied by Athlete’s Foot
-
Our aim is to identify causes and devise a treatment plan that is easy to follow at home
-
Our treatment includes thinning and clearing the nail to expose the core of the infection and enable penetration of these treatments
-
Footwise Clinic retails a range of sprays, lacquers and natural oils
Verrucae
-
Warts on the sole or toes of the feet, caused by a weak virus that disrupts skin growth
-
Identifiable by small black dots (ruptured capilliaries) and pain when pressing the edges
-
Healing normally depends on a response from your immune system
-
Footwise Clinic has a range of acid or freezing treatments that can promote healing
-
Normally a short course of treatments is required
Ingrown Nails
-
'Ingrown' nail occurs when a painful spike typically down the side of the nail becomes inflamed and infected.
-
Gently removing the nail spike, cleansing and 'packing' the area may sufficiently deal with the problem.
-
If you are experiencing recurring ingrowth,
we can perform nail surgery with local anaesthetic which generally provides a permanent and safe answer.
-
We we carefully assess to ensure this minor surgical procedure is safe and suitable for you.
