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.
