I had a few podiatry treatments done out of 10. The male and female nurses are very good. 25/2 nurse Rochelle recommended the tape on me after the treatment which I felt extremely wonderful. I felt my knees like nothing had happened. Walking very comfortably with the tape after treatment.

I visited East Podiatry in Novena about three months ago as I was experiencing sharp pain on my left heel. It was affecting my running and walking. During my first consultation, Jordan accurately diagnosed the condition as Achilles tendonitis and recommended a shock wave therapy.. fast forward that three months later, the pain has dissipated. I am now able to resume my running. Jordan is very helpful and attuned to his patients' needs. I am a barefoot runner and he acknowledged that switching to regular shoes will not do me any good. I appreciate his frank advice. He also recommended exercises to help me with strengthening my toes and plantar muscles so as to prevent the Achilles tendonitis from recurring. His assistant, Ashley performed the shock wave treatment with precision and skills, as well. Overall, I am very happy with the treatment and service.

Great experience at East Coast Podiatry (Orchard)! Had a persistent nail fungus issue over the last couple of years and it was solved so quickly and efficiently with the team. My podiatrist - Ms Peggy explained and assessed my condition in great detail, and recommended me the follow up actions required to get the issue all treated. Was an overall superb and pleasant treatment experience 🙂

We have been with Gerorgina for my daughter in-toes and flat foot issue. Gone through a thorough treatment, exercises, feet braces and we can see massive improvement in my daughter's posture and feet.
Georgina and the staff have been very helpful and making every visit smooth and pleasant. Keep up the good work!

Our 6-year-old son had very severe in-toeing when we first visited Dr. Michael in October 2024. We’re incredibly thankful for his expertise—after just 8 months of treatment, our son is now very close to having an ideal foot structure.
What we appreciated most was the all-in-one pricing—it covered everything from braces to follow-ups, making the treatment both convenient and great value for money. The clinic’s location in Orchard is also a big plus for accessibility. Highly recommend Dr. Michael, especially for concerned parents dealing with pediatric foot issues!

Toenail Fungus

Early Signs of Fungal Toenails and What Causes Them

Toenail fungus, also known as Onychomycosis or Tinea Unguium, often begins with subtle changes such as yellowing, thickening, or brittleness of the nails. This condition is commonly caused by fungi like Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton interdigitale, which thrive in warm, moist environments. It tends to affect the big or little toenails and becomes more common with age or following other fungal infections like athlete’s foot (Tinea Pedis).

Persistent infection can spread to other toes, your skin, and even other members of your household. 

Early symptoms may seem mild but can worsen over time if left untreated, potentially leading to discomfort and complications. Recognising the causes and early signs of toenail fungus is important for effective management and prevention of further spread. Understanding these factors helps you take timely action to protect your foot health and maintain strong, healthy nails.

Fungal Toenail Symptoms Checklist: Is Your Infection Progressing?

Signs You Need Professional Care

Fungal toenail infections can cause noticeable changes to the appearance and texture of your nails. Recognising these symptoms early is important for effective treatment and preventing the infection from worsening or spreading.

If more than one nail is affected, the infection is spreading. Early treatment is the key to a faster recovery.

Fungal Toenail img-157
Common signs include:
  • Discolouration - Nails may turn yellow, brown, or white as the infection develops.
  • Thickening of the Nail - Infected nails often become thicker and harder than usual.
  • Brittle or Crumbly Nails - Nails may become fragile, breaking or crumbling easily.
  • Distorted Nail Shape - The natural shape of the nail can become irregular or misshapen.
  • Separation from the Nail Bed - The nail may lift or detach from the skin underneath.
  • Foul Odour - A noticeable unpleasant smell can sometimes be present.

What are the Common Causes of Fungal Toenail?

Toenail fungus often starts small but can become more troublesome if conditions favour its growth. Several factors increase the likelihood of infection, making it easier for the fungus to thrive and spread.

Below are some of the most common causes linked to fungal toenails:

  • Warm and Damp Environments
  • Poor Foot Hygiene & Excessive Sweat
  • Wet Weather Season
  • Nail Trauma
  • Athlete’s Foot
  • Weakened Immune System

Fungal Toenail Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What causes toenail fungus?

Toenail fungus is caused by fungi that thrive in warm, moist environments. You can contract these fungi through direct skin contact with an infected person or by walking barefoot in communal areas such as pools and locker rooms. Poor foot hygiene and wearing tight or non-breathable shoes can also increase the risk by trapping moisture around the nails.
