Toenail and nail fungus begins when fungal organisms — particularly dermatophytes — enter your nail bed through a small crack or even a tiny cut near your nail bed. As these fungal invaders divide and multiply, a serious nail infection begins. Your risk of developing a toenail fungus infection is higher if you regularly have sweaty feet or spend a lot of time in communal saunas or locker room showers. These warm, moist areas are ideal spaces for fungi to thrive. Dr.Losyev doesn’t just treat your toenail fungus infection; he gets to the root of why you developed an infection and helps you lower your risk of future fungal nail issues. Depending on the severity of your toenail fungus infection, your treatment may include: - Prescription-strength antifungal nail cream - Oral antifungal medications - Laser treatment - Dr.’s Remedy® antifungal nail polish Laser treatment for toenail fungus is a noninvasive option that can kill the fungus causing the infection and help promote clear nail growth in as little as one treatment session.
