Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to see results from fungal nail treatment?

Results vary depending on the severity of the infection and the chosen treatment method. Typically, improvement is seen within a few months, with complete resolution taking several months to a year.

Is ingrown toenail surgery painful?

Our podiatrists use local anaesthesia to ensure that patients remain comfortable during ingrown toenail surgery. Discomfort during the procedure is minimal, and post-operative pain can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.

Is it safe to remove corns and calluses at home?

While over-the-counter treatments for corns and calluses are available, it’s important to use them with caution. Improper removal techniques can lead to skin damage and infections. It’s best to seek professional care from a podiatrist for safe and effective corn and callus removal.

How can I prevent corns and calluses from recurring?

As part of your initial assessment, our podiatrists provide advice on proper footwear, foot care techniques, and cushioning products to help prevent friction and pressure on vulnerable areas of the feet, reducing the risk of corns and calluses.

Can I wear nail polish during fungal nail treatment?

It’s generally recommended to avoid wearing nail polish during fungal nail treatment to allow better penetration of antifungal medications and to monitor the progress of the infection. Your podiatrist will provide specific recommendations based on your individual situation.
