Fungal nail changes
Fungal nail changes can alter the colour, thickness and appearance of a nail. A podiatrist can examine the nail, talk through what may be contributing, and explain the treatment options, including PACT therapy carried out in clinic.
How we assess and treat it
The podiatrist examines the nail and surrounding skin and sets out the options and what each involves. Fungal nail treatment usually takes time and more than one visit, which is explained from the outset so your expectations are realistic.
What to expect
You leave understanding the options and a realistic picture of the timeframe. The plan is reviewed as treatment progresses.

When we use it
We set realistic expectations about timeframes before starting, because fungal nail treatment is a slow process.
