What to Expect From Your Appointment

Nail fungus treatment at the Dermatology Center of McKinney begins with a detailed consultation where our specialists assess the condition of their patients nail health and carefully review their complete medical history. This step is absolutely critical to determine the most effective treatment plan tailored to address unique and evolving fungal concerns.

Depending on the severity of the fungal infection and the patients overall health, the team may recommend one or more of the following treatment options:

For Laser therapy, a provider will target and destroy fungus without harming the surrounding nail or skin.

Applying Topical treatments involves lathering prescription-strength antifungal creams or ointments directly onto the affected nails.

Oral medications help put a stop to drastic or widespread infections. These combat the fungus from the inside out.

The duration and frequency of these treatments vary based on the method chosen and the extent of the infection. Laser treatments, for example, might require several sessions spaced a few weeks apart, while topical treatments are generally applied daily at home.
