FUNGAL TREATMENTS
FUNGUL TREATMENTS IN BUFFALO, NY
Fungal infections are unfortunately all too common on the foot and toenails. Fungal infections can be easily spread on clothing or through contact with an infected person. You may not know it, but fungi may be hiding in the towels or bedsheets you use every day. Once the fungus spreads, it can be difficult to treat.
Dr. Gelia is a foot specialist who can help you treat fungal infections on your foot or toenails. Fungal infections are typically treated with prescription or over-the-counter medication. These include anti-fungal creams and sprays or oral medication. It’s important to stop the spread of a fungal infection before it reaches other parts of your body and becomes even more difficult to treat.
For trusted foot care that will stop the spread of a fungal infection on your foot or nails, trust the Buffalo, NY podiatrist office of Dr. Gelia. Our foot specialist can provide the advice and treatment you need to overcome a fungal infection.
SIGNS OF FUNGAL INFECTIONS
Athletes foot is a contagious fungal infection that affects the skin on the feet but can spread to the toenails. You can catch the fungus through direct contact with an infected person, or by touching surfaces contaminated with the fungus. Signs of a fungal foot infection include:
- Stinging or burning between your toes/soles of your feet
- Blisters on your feet that are itchy
- Cracking or peeling skin on your feet
- Dry or raw skin on your soles or sides of your feet
- Discolored, thick, and crumbly toenails
- Toenails that pull away from the nail bed
Toenail fungal infections can start from athlete's foot and can spread from one nail to another. Fungal nail infection can develop in people at any age, but it's more common in older adults. As the fungal infection develops, it can cause nails to become discolors, thicken, and crumble. If you notice any of the following signs, you may have nail fungus:
- Your toenails are thicker than normal
- Your toenails are discolored (yellow-brown)
- Your toenails are brittle, crumbly, or ragged
- Your toenails are distorted in shape
- Your toenails seem to be darker in color
- There is a slightly foul-smelling odor coming from your toenails
