Dermatology in Bareilly
Thickened, yellow, crumbly nails are usually fungal. Dr. Pinky Nisha at Skin Solution Clinic treats nail fungus with targeted oral antifungals and monitors liver safety throughout the course.
Quick answer
Nail fungus treatment at Skin Solution Clinic, Bareilly involves ₹300 consultation, KOH/culture testing, and oral antifungals (terbinafine or itraconazole) for 3–6 months. Dr. Pinky Nisha monitors liver function during treatment. A healthy new nail grows in 6–12 months.
Nail fungus (onychomycosis) is a fungal infection of fingernails or toenails causing thickening, yellow-brown discolouration, brittleness, and crumbling. It is caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, or moulds. Other nail disorders Dr. Pinky Nisha treats include nail psoriasis, nail dystrophy, and black nails from trauma or melanonychia.
Treatment is recommended for thickened, discoloured, or crumbly nails, nails separating from the nail bed, painful ingrown nails with infection, nail pitting or ridging, and blackish or dark-streaked nails requiring evaluation.
Diagnosis is confirmed clinically and with KOH microscopy or nail clipping culture. Treatment involves oral antifungals (pulse or continuous dosing) for 3–6 months, topical antifungal lacquer as adjunct, liver function monitoring before and during oral therapy, and nail care advice. Results are visible as the new healthy nail grows out (6–12 months for toenails).
Before treatment, stop using nail paints on affected nails. During the course, take oral medication as prescribed and attend liver function test appointments. New healthy nail growth begins within 2–3 months but takes 6–12 months to fully replace the damaged nail.
