FUNGAL TOENAILS

Fungal Toenail Treatment in Warrensburg, MO


Fungus is an organism that lives in warm moist environments. Fungus is found in very common places including shoes, showers, and the dirt outside. It can affect people of all ages, although it is commonly found in the older population.

Toenail fungus is caused by the same fungus found in athlete’s foot. Fungus seeds under the toenail by environmental exposure or trauma to nail plate. It usually starts at the end of the toenail with yellow or brownish discoloration. The toenail can slowly worsen over time leading to a thick and painful toenail.

Treatment options are available including topical and oral medications. In-office procedures are also available including temporary or permanent toenail removal. Many people have trouble simply trimming thick fungal toenails. Trimming fungal toenails in-office may be covered by your insurance. Call Dr. Nowlin to discuss further.
