Curanail 5% Nail Lacquer Amorolfine - The Only Once Weekly Treatment for Mild Fungal Nail Infections
What are the signs and symptoms?
Mild fungal nail infections
Once you have a fungal nail infection, it's not very pleasant looking. There are several categories of fungal nail infection, the most common is a type where the infection starts at the nail tip and spreads down towards the base. If you suspect you have a fungal nail infection, your local pharmacist can help confirm the condition and also help with advice on treatment.
Mild fungal nail infections can be easily identified by certain key symptoms. Some of the key signs that a nail is infected include:
- White, yellow or brown discolouration
- Thickening
- Build-up of debris under the nail
- Scaliness
- Distorted shape of nail
- Brittleness
Example of a mild fungal nail infection
Severe fungal nail infections
If the infection is left untreated, the nails can become more distorted and painful, and sufferers may find it difficult to walk (if their toenails are affected) or pick up small items (if fingernails are affected). Infected nails can become so severely damaged that they can eventually drop off.
Example of a severe fungal nail infection
Social impact of fungal nail infections
As well as the physical aspects of the condition, many people can also get embarrassed about the appearance of their nails and may try to hide their hands and feet as much as possible, for example avoiding open toe shoes even on hot days. Treatment therefore not only helps the physical problems associated with fungal nail infections, but also helps people feel more confident about the appearance of their nails.
