Fungal Nail Treatment in Melbourne

Assessment and ongoing management of thickened, discoloured and fungal toenails, at home.

Access Care Podiatry provides fungal nail treatment as a mobile home-visit service throughout metropolitan Melbourne, including Craigieburn, Brunswick, Footscray, Werribee, Box Hill, Dandenong.

Overview

Fungal nail infections are common, particularly in older feet, and tend to develop slowly: nails thicken, discolour and become harder to cut, and the infection can spread to other nails if left unmanaged.

We assess your nails at home, reduce and tidy affected nails so they stay comfortable, and put together a management plan. Fungal nails can be slow to respond to treatment, so we are upfront about what to expect and review progress at each visit.

What's included

Assessment of the nails, the skin, and anything contributing to the infection
Careful reduction and trimming of thickened, affected nails
Topical treatment plans where appropriate
Advice on footwear, hygiene and preventing spread or recurrence
Coordination with your GP where prescription treatment may be needed
Ongoing review as part of regular foot care visits
