NAIL FUNGUS

Introduction

Nail Fungus is a common infection that can make the nails discolored and brittle. With the help of dermatologists, Dr. Faryal Siddiqui, Dr. Christopher Barnard, and Dr. Solomiya Grushchak, La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic & Dermatology is proud to offer treatments for nail fungus to patients in San Diego, Encinitas, La Mesa, El Cajon, and surrounding areas of California.

What is Nail Fungus?

Nail Fungus, like other types of fungus, is a common infection that starts as whitening or yellowing of the fingernails or toenails. While nail fungus may just affect one nail, it often spreads quickly to the rest of the nails on the hands and feet. Fungal nail infections are very contagious but often do not cause much discomfort when mild. More severe cases of nail fungus can cause the nails to become brittle and break off, which can lead to further complications down the line.

What Causes Nail Fungus?

Nail infections are typically transmitted from another individual or an infected environment. Common places patients may contract Nail Fungus include nail and beauty salons, public pools, communal showers, or other damp and shared spaces. Patients who sweat easily and have a history of fungal infections like athlete’s foot are typically at a higher risk of developing nail fungus. Patients who may also be at a higher risk of developing nail fungus have poor circulation to the fingers and toes.

How Do I Know If I Have Nail Fungus?

Nail Fungus is typically characterized by the nails being:

Thickened
Yellow or white
Brittle or crumbly
Distorted in shape

“I could not have had a better first impression of La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic. I spoke with three practitioners at my appointment, who were all extremely friendly and professional. I never felt pressured to purchase any product/service. In fact, the doctor suggested I hold off on a service I was interested in to see if it was even necessary. I am genuinely looking forward to my next appointment”

“This was my first time here and my first time getting Botox and let me tell you Dr. Mani and her team is amazing. Coming into it I was extremely nervous bc I’ve never gotten any non surgical procedures done before so I didn’t know what to expect. But when Dr Mani and her team came in I got extremely calm and ready and let me tell you she is amazing and super quick! Didn’t feel a pinch!”
