Do You Have a Fungal Nail Infection?
Fungal nail infections don’t always look the identical, and people don’t always realise their nail changes are caused by fungus. Common signs include:
Yellow, White, or Brown Nail Discolouration
If your toenails are yellow or yellow-brown, if they have white patches or streaks, or are dull or cloudy in appearance, you may have a fungal nail infection.
Thickened Nails
When nails are thickened they become harder to cut, you may feel pressure or discomfort in shoes, or notice a raised or distorted nail shape.
Brittle or Crumbling Nails
Brittle nails break or split easily, and the nail edges may crumble or flake.

Which Fungal Nail Treatment Is Right for You?
Choosing the right treatment depends on your specific condition and indivdual circmstances. Fungal toenail treatment options available at Cutting Edge Podiatry include:
Poderm Fungal Nail Treatment
The Poderm Method is a clinically delivered treatment developed in Switzerland, and Cutting Edge Podiatry is the first clinic in the UK to offer it. It combines in-clinic podiatry care with specialist home-use products to treat fungal nails effectively.
Treatment involves gently preparing the nail to allow the active ingredients to reach the source of the infection. You are then provided with Poderm serums and a structured plan to continue treatment at home, with follow-up appointments to monitor progress and support healthy nail regrowth.
K-Laser Therapy
K-Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted light energy to reach the deeper layers of the nail and surrounding tissue. It is typically recommended for thicker or more stubborn fungal nail infections. Treatment sessions are quick, and most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure.
Clearanail For Fungal Nails
Clearanail is a minimally invasive treatment that creates tiny microchannels in the nail, allowing antifungal products to penetrate more effectively. It is particularly useful for thick or damaged nails and is often used alongside other treatments to improve results. The procedure is quick and generally well tolerated.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fungal Nails
How do I know if my toenail is fungal?
Fungal nails often appear yellow, thickened, brittle or distorted. However, not all nail changes are fungal, which is why professional assessment or testing is recommended.
Do fungal nail infections go away on their own?
Fungal nail infections rarely resolve without treatment and often worsen over time if left untreated.
What is the best treatment for fungal toenails?
The best treatment depends on the severity of the infection. If you are not sure which treatment is best for you, call our team on 01223 633 038.
How long does fungal nail treatment take?
Treatment times vary depending on the method and severity. Visible improvement can take several months as the nail grows out, and some treatments require multiple sessions.
Can fungal nail infections come back?
Yes, fungal infections can return, especially if the underlying causes aren’t addressed. Your podiatrist will be able to provide advice to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Is fungal nail treatment painful?
Fungal nail treatments are generally well tolerated. Poderm involves gentle nail preparation using specialist tools, making it minimally invasive and typically painless.
K-Laser is a completely non-invasive treatment, and is generally pain-free, with most patients feeling only mild warmth or no sensation at all.
Clearanail involves creating tiny microchannels in the nail, so it is minimally invasive, but usually well tolerated with little discomfort during the procedure.
Is it better to treat fungal nails early?
Yes, early treatment is usually simpler, more effective, and helps to avoid the need for more advanced treatments later.
Do I need a test before treatment?
Not always, but fungal nail testing can be useful if the diagnosis is unclear or if previous treatments haven’t worked.
