Cette infection fongique, fr\u00e9quente, mais souvent sous-estim\u00e9e, peut causer un \u00e9paississement, une d\u00e9coloration et une d\u00e9formation progressive de l\u2019ongle s\u2019il n\u2019est pas trait\u00e9 rapidement. L\u2019onychomycose (infection fongique de l\u2019ongle) est fr\u00e9quente et difficile \u00e0 \u00e9radiquer sans approche cibl\u00e9e. Chez PodiSant\u00e9<\/strong>, nous proposons un traitement complet, local et adapt\u00e9 \u00e0 chaque patient<\/strong>, afin de restaurer l\u2019esth\u00e9tique et la sant\u00e9 ungu\u00e9ale.<\/p>\n\n All treatment begins with a thorough podiatric assessment. The podiatrist examines the affected nail and, if necessary, takes a nail sample to confirm the diagnosis with a laboratory test. This step helps rule out other pathologies and tailor treatment to the specific nature of the infection. <\/p>\n\n We use medical-grade topical antifungals, which are more powerful than those available over the counter. These treatments are applied directly to the nail and are chosen based on the severity of the infection and the type of fungus identified. <\/p>\n\n In more severe cases or when topical treatments are insufficient, an oral antifungal treatment may be prescribed by the podiatrist. This treatment is highly effective but requires a complete assessment of your overall condition to ensure its safety. <\/p>\n\n To increase the effectiveness of treatments, we perform mechanical thinning of the nail (debridement). This procedure facilitates the penetration of antifungal agents and helps reduce the fungal load on the surface. <\/p>\n\n Treating nail fungus requires time and consistency. That’s why we offer regular personalized follow-up, with adjustments as needed based on treatment response. This plan is spread over several months, depending on the progress of healthy nail regrowth. <\/p>\n\n Aside from the cosmetic aspect, untreated fungal infection can spread to other nails or the skin (athlete’s foot). Early intervention significantly increases the chances of a complete cure. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At PodiSant\u00e9, we offer comprehensive and personalized care to effectively treat nail fungus, also known as onychomycosis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3454,"featured_media":4235,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podiatry-services"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/podisante.ca\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/podisante.ca\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/podisante.ca\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/podisante.ca\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3454"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/podisante.ca\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3963"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/podisante.ca\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3963\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5453,"href":"https:\/\/podisante.ca\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3963\/revisions\/5453"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/podisante.ca\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/podisante.ca\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/podisante.ca\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/podisante.ca\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Clinical evaluation and mycological testing<\/h3>\n\n
