Thickened toenails
Thickening of the nail plate is a change in its structure, where the nail becomes dense, yellowish, deformed, and difficult to trim. This issue can be caused by a fungal infection, trauma, constant pressure (such as from wearing tight shoes), age-related changes, psoriasis, or other skin conditions. The nail may also start pressing on the nail bed, causing pain and inflammation.
How the procedure is performed:
The specialist examines the nail to determine the cause of thickening. Then the following steps are performed:
- Nail treatment: gentle and painless milling to remove the thickened layer
- Cleaning of the subungual area and treatment of the surrounding skin
- Application of a therapeutic coating (antifungal, strengthening, or protective if needed)
- If a fungal infection is suspected, a recommendation is made for testing and further treatment in cooperation with a dermatologist.
Benefits of the procedure:
For many people, it’s important to understand how comfortable the procedure will be and how quickly they can return to their daily routine.
- Painless and safe
- Immediate relief while walking
- Improved appearance of the nails
- Reduced risk of ingrown nails and infections
- Suitable for diabetics and the elderly
IN CONCLUSION, THE SPECIALIST PROVIDES INDIVIDUAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOME CARE AND FOOTWEAR.
How the problem is solved:
Regular treatment of the thickened nail reduces pressure, makes trimming easier, improves appearance, and prevents complications such as ingrown nails or inflammation. In case of fungal infection, it is combined with medical therapy.
