Do you have fungal toenails that need to be treated by an expert podiatrist? If one or more of your toenails is wavy and crumbling or yellowed, you probably have this problem. Fungal toenails can be a persistent problem that often needs repeated treatment. Our expert and highly-trained podiatrist in 92591 is able to provide you with treatment by laser to treat your toenail fungus.
At our practice, Temecula Valley Podiatry, our highly-trained board certified podiatrist is Dr. Richard B. Haas. He has been providing podiatric foot care for many years. Our office is equipped with the most modern technology and we are able to provide you with excellent foot care in a comfortable and relaxing environment. When it comes to treating fungal toenails, laser treatment is among one of the most effective treatment options available today. Our podiatrist in 92591 is happy to be able to provide this treatment for any of our patients who have this persistent and potentially dangerous condition.
Our podiatrist in 92591 uses the FDA-approved YAG Laser for the treatment of fungal nails. This treatment is not only highly-effective but also pain free for our patients. There are also a variety of other treatments available for fungal toenails, although laser treatment is often the most effective option. When you see Dr. Hass, he will need to determine the exact diagnosis relating to your fungal toenails in terms of what kind of fungus you have underneath your toenails. Sometimes what looks like a toenail fungus may actually be a serious disease underneath the toenail such as a squamous cell skin cancer. There are many different types of treatments for fungal toenails which may include the use of oral medications or treatment with topically applied creams – both prescription and over-the-counter. Fungal toenails are not only unsightly, but they can be dangerous for patients. If you have an auto-immune disease or diabetes, you have to be careful that this infection does not spread to other parts of your body. Laser treatment of fungal toenails should go a long way toward keeping this from occurring. If you would like to meet with our podiatrist, Dr. Haas, for treatment of your fungal nail infection, simply contact our office today for an appointment.
