Symptoms of Fungal Toenail Infection.
Don't Let The Infection Spread
Fungal nail infections rarely go away on their own. The earlier they're treated, the better the chance of preventing further spread and long-term nail damage.
Overtime, the infection can:
-
Spread to other toenails
-
Cause nails to become thicker and more damaged
-
Make nails painful and difficult to trim
-
Increase the risk of recurring infections
Symptoms & Impact
The Cost of Inaction

What Our Patients Say
Patient Reviews
I had my nail extraction done by Dr Michael Lai last September which was very efficiently handled from start to finish, and just visited the Kembangan clinic for a review. I found the counter staff to be warm and friendly especially Hong. Dr Lai is of course always a consummate professional, and gave me very helpful advice on maintaining the condition of my toes and feet. East Coast Podiatry is definitely my go-to clinic for all my podiatry concerns from here on.

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 :)
August 2025
It was a delightful experience in spite of my concern over the medical/ surgical intervention on the chronic fungal infection of my toenail. Mr Yasin the Podiatrist answered all my concerns, and was gentle with all procedures. Im exremely happy to have disovered East Coast Podiatry! The counter staff was friendly, attentive, and communicated effectively too. Thank you!

5 stars to Syah - he’s the podiatrist nurse who helped clean up/prep my nails for the red light treatment (for fungus). Very knowledgeable , polite & conscientious … and willing to share when I asked on how I should keep my nails fungus-free in future. His amiable personality put me totally at ease during the session.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fungal Toenail
What causes fungal toenails?
Fungal toenails occur when fungi enter the nail through tiny cracks or damaged skin around the nail. Warm, humid environments, sweaty feet, communal showers, swimming pools, nail injuries, and athlete's foot can all increase your risk of developing a fungal nail infection.
Will fungal toenails go away on their own?
Unfortunately, fungal toenail infections rarely clear without treatment. Over time, the infection can spread to other nails, causing them to become thicker, more damaged, and increasingly difficult to treat. Early treatment offers the best chance of successful management.
What is nail debridement?
Nail debridement is the careful reduction and thinning of thickened fungal nails using specialised instruments. This improves comfort, reduces nail thickness, and can help topical treatments penetrate the nail more effectively.
Can fungal toenails spread to other nails?
Yes. If left untreated, fungal nail infections can spread to neighbouring toenails and, in some cases, to the surrounding skin. Early treatment can help reduce the risk of the infection spreading further.
Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?
No. You do not need a referral from a GP or specialist. You can book an appointment directly with one of our experienced podiatrists. Simply whatsapp us or fill up the book a consultation form.
Is fungal toenail treatment painful?
PACT therapy and most fungal toenail treatments are well tolerated. Procedures such as nail debridement are generally performed with patient comfort in mind, and your podiatrist will explain each step of your treatment before beginning.
How do I know if I have a fungal toenail infection?
Common signs include yellow, white, or brown nail discolouration, thickened nails, brittle or crumbly nails, nails lifting away from the nail bed, or changes that gradually spread to other toenails. Not all discoloured or thickened nails are caused by fungus, so a professional assessment is recommended to confirm the diagnosis.
What treatments are available for fungal toenails?
Treatment depends on the severity of your infection and the condition of your nails. Your personalised treatment plan may include professional nail debridement, Photodynamic Antimicrobial Therapy (PACT), topical treatments, or other evidence-based management options recommended by your podiatrist.
How long does fungal toenail treatment take, when can I see results?
Healthy toenails grow slowly, so visible improvement takes time. While treatment begins immediately, it can take several months for a healthier nail to grow out. Your podiatrist will explain the expected timeline based on the severity of your infection.
Can fungal toenails come back after treatment?
Yes. Fungal nail infections can recur if the underlying risk factors aren't addressed. Your podiatrist will provide advice on footwear, foot hygiene, nail care, and prevention strategies to help reduce the risk of future infections.
Can I claim my treatment through insurance?
Many patients are able to claim eligible podiatry consultations and treatments through their personal health insurance or corporate medical benefits, depending on their policy. As coverage varies between insurers, we recommend checking directly with your insurance provider before your appointment. Our team can also provide supporting documentation if required.
Why should I choose East Coast Podiatry?
At East Coast Podiatry, you'll receive a comprehensive assessment to accurately diagnose your condition before treatment begins. Our experienced podiatrists provide personalised, evidence-based treatment plans using advanced technologies and practical prevention strategies to help restore healthier nails and minimise the risk of recurrence.
