Nail Fungus Treatments In NYC

• It is important to wash your feet regularly and dry them thoroughly after bathing.
• Keep your nails dry, short, and clean.
• Avoid walking barefoot in public places such as communal bathing facilities and pools.
• If you sweat excessively change your socks often.
• Use an antifungal spray or powder on your feet and the inside of your shoes.

At Gotham Footcare we will properly diagnose the cause of toenail problems with a simple nail biopsy to confirm under microscopic evaluation the potential presence of a fungal infection. Treatment of this condition will then depend on the type of organism causing the infection, severity of the infection and overall health status of the patient. We will initially remove as much of the affected nails as possible by trimming, filling, and mechanically debriding the nail to a more normal thickness and appearance.

Medicated antifungal nail lacquer may be prescribed for a localized mild to moderate infection. Prescription oral antifungal medications may be prescribed for a more serious infection.

At Gotham Footcare we take pride in offering the latest technology to treat nail fungus. This is the reason we no longer offer Laser Nail Fungus Removal because it is not efficacious. ClearANail is a safe and painless new procedure that changes the way nail fungus is treated.

This procedure is based on Controlled Micro Penetration (CMP) that creates controlled micro holes in the nail plate, allowing topical treatment to reach in higher concentration levels. These CMP pathways allows for increased efficiency of the treatment without any soft tissue injury. After being treated for nail fungus New York City based podiatrists at Gotham Footcare have seen results in as early as 2-8 weeks with no recovery time needed!
