Understanding Fungal Nail Infections
Fungal nail infections, also known as dermatophytic onychomycosis or tinea unguium, affect about 20% of people in the UK at some point. These infections commonly cause the toenail to thicken, disfigure, and sometimes crumble, often resulting in pain and discomfort. The infection usually begins in one nail but can easily spread to others if untreated. It typically starts along the outer edge of the nail, turning it whitish-yellow, brown, or green. If left untreated, the infection may worsen and could require surgical removal of the affected nail.
How Fungal Nail Infections Develop
The fungus responsible for nail infections is often the same type that causes athlete’s foot. This fungus thrives in the keratin found in the outer layer of skin and can spread from the skin to the nails. Fungal nail infections may involve the entire nail or only parts of it, including the nail plate, nail bed, and the nail’s growing area. Early detection is important to prevent the infection from spreading and causing further damage.
Modern Treatment Options For Fungal Nails
Traditional fungal nail treatments include topical solutions applied over time, oral medications, and laser therapy. However, these methods often come with limitations and side effects. At Sally Pembery Associates, we offer a cutting-edge treatment called Photodynamic Antimicrobial Therapy (PACT) using high-intensity LED light. This innovative therapy targets the fungal cells directly and has shown a very high success rate without side effects.
Photodynamic Antimicrobial Therapy (PACT)
PACT has been used in medicine since the 1990s for treating tumours, skin diseases, and wound infections. It works by using a specific wavelength of light to selectively destroy sensitised fungal cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. This targeted approach means no known side effects. PACT offers over 80% effectiveness in treating fungal nails and is safe for patients with Diabetes. The treatment plan is straightforward, highly effective, and does not require a GP referral.
