Noticed your toenails turning yellow, thick, or brittle? You might be dealing with nail fungus — and the sooner you act, the better the results.
At Leading Health Podiatry, we offer on-the-spot fungal nail testing during your first appointment — giving you fast, clear answers and a personalised treatment plan right away.
What is Nail Fungus?
Nail fungus (onychomycosis) is a common infection that develops underneath the nail, often starting from minor trauma, damp environments, or simply from wearing tight footwear.
It’s stubborn, contagious, and won’t clear up on its own without proper treatment.
You’re more at risk if you:
Spend time barefoot in communal showers or pools
Wear enclosed, sweaty shoes often
Have diabetes, circulation issues, or a weakened immune system
Have a history of athlete’s foot
Common Signs of Nail Fungus
Keep an eye out for:
Yellow, brown, or white discolouration
Thickened, crumbly, or flaky nails
Nails lifting away from the nail bed
Pain or discomfort, especially when walking or wearing shoes
A mild to strong odour
The earlier you catch it, the easier it is to treat — and the better your nails can recover.

How We Treat Nail Fungus at Leading Health Podiatry
Depending on your diagnosis and severity, your podiatrist may recommend:
1. Medical Nail Debridement
We carefully thin and clean the nail to remove fungal buildup, allowing treatments to penetrate more effectively.
2. Topical Treatments
We recommend the most effective antifungal treatment based on each patient’s individual case and condition.
3. Oral Antifungal Medications
For more severe infections, we can coordinate oral treatments through your GP for a faster, systemic response.
4. Prevention and Footwear Advice
We’ll guide you on the right shoes, socks, and hygiene habits to prevent reinfection — because fighting fungus is about smart prevention, too.
