Nail Fungus
Expert Nail Fungus Treatment
Restoring the Health, Strength, and Appearance of Your Nails
Toenail fungus (onychomycosis) is a common condition that affects nearly 20% of Americans, causing thickened, brittle, and discolored nails that can be both uncomfortable and embarrassing. Fungal organisms thrive in warm, damp environments such as shoes, gyms, and locker rooms, and infections often enter through small cracks or injuries in the nail. At InStride Foot & Ankle of the Carolinas, Dr. Eric Ward and Dr. Blaise Woeste provide advanced treatment options to eliminate fungal infections, improve nail health, and restore your confidence.
Signs and Symptoms of Nail Fungus
- White or yellow spots or streaks beneath the nail
- Thickened, brittle, or crumbling nail edges
- Nails that become yellow, brown, or distorted in shape
- Pain, discomfort, or difficulty trimming affected nails
- Spreading infection to other nails or skin (such as athlete’s foot)

Left untreated, nail fungus can worsen over time, making nails increasingly difficult to manage and more prone to secondary infections.
Treatment Options for Nail Fungus
- Prescription topical antifungal medications
- Professional filing or thinning of the nail for better absorption
- Oral antifungal medications to clear infection from the inside out
- Guidance on preventive care to reduce recurrence

Because fungal nails can be stubborn, treatment often takes time and persistence. Our team uses proven methods to target the infection and help healthy nails grow back strong and clear.
