Clear Thick, Discoloured Fungal Nails with Dermatologist-Led Care
Thick, yellow, brittle or crumbling nails are usually a sign of a fungal nail infection (onychomycosis) — one of the most common and stubborn nail problems. Nail infection treatment at V3 Derma Clinic, Champapet starts with confirming the diagnosis and then clearing the infection properly, because nail fungus does not go away on its own and tends to spread.
Because ordinary creams can't penetrate the hard nail, our dermatologist uses the right combination of prescription oral antifungals, medicated nail lacquers and nail care — with a plan to prevent it coming back. Early treatment gives the best chance of a clear, healthy nail.
We confirm whether it's truly fungal (not psoriasis or injury) before treating.
