Melbourne based Bentleigh Podiatrists treat ’Fungal Nail Infections’ . This is a fungal nail disease common in the feet (onychomycosis). Toenail fungus infections have long frustrated podiatrists due to the lack of an effective, safe and affordable treatment. Most treatments require daily application for months, even years with average results. Oral tablets have a good success rate but risk severe side effects. Nail fungus laser treatment by local podiatrists in Melbourne need a good technique, but can be uncomfortable due to heat build up, and is expensive. Nail fungus infection signs are characteristic, and visual diagnosis can be confirmed by Melbourne podiatrists (scrapings are taken from infected nails and sent to pathology in doubtful cases).
