Nail Care- Thickened/Damaged

Throughout life our nails undergo change. This can be due

to trauma, infection or age related systemic changes.

A sample of nail can be collected and tested on-site to

determine a result if you or your podiatrist requires confirmation

of a fungal infection of the nail.

They are often pain free, raised and roughened circles of skin with small black dots (capillaries) in the centre. There can be one or multiple areas infected. With or without treatment they usually resolve within two years but many strains of verrucae can last considerably longer and continue to spread and become painful.
