🦶 FUNGAL NAIL INFECTION?
Are your nails discolored, thickened, or brittle? You might be dealing with a fungal nail infection, a common but often neglected condition affecting both toenails and fingernails. Best Skin Doctor in Varanasi-Dr. Shailesh Singh
🔍 What Is a Fungal Nail Infection?
Fungal nail infections (also called onychomycosis) occur when fungi invade the nail bed, nail plate, or surrounding skin. They thrive in warm, moist environments — like sweaty shoes or public showers. Best Skin Doctor in Varanasi-Dr. Shailesh Singh
👣 Common Signs to Watch For:
Yellow, white, or brown discoloration of the nail
Thickened or distorted nail shape
Crumbly, brittle, or ragged nails
Separation of the nail from the nail bed
Foul smell or discomfort
🎯 Who Is at Risk?
Anyone can get it, but some people are more prone:
Diabetics
People with poor circulation
Athletes or those with sweaty feet
Individuals with weakened immunity
Those who frequently use communal showers or pools
🩺 Diagnosis & Treatment:
As a specialist, I recommend a clinical exam followed by a nail culture or scraping test to confirm the infection. Best Skin Doctor in Varanasi-Dr. Shailesh Singh
Treatment Options:
✅ Topical antifungal creams or nail lacquers
✅ Oral antifungal medications (effective but need prescription & monitoring)
✅ Laser therapy (advanced and non-invasive)
✅ Proper foot and nail hygiene
⚠️ Don’t ignore a fungal nail infection — it can spread to other nails, skin, or even other people! Best Skin Doctor in Varanasi-Dr. Shailesh Singh
🛡️ Prevention Tips:
Keep feet dry and clean
Wear breathable footwear
Avoid walking barefoot in public places
Trim nails straight and clean tools regularly
Change socks daily
Use antifungal powder if prone to sweating
