Covering up a discolored or thick fungal nail with nail polish is an easy trap to fall into, but it actually makes the infection much worse.
Traditional nail polish acts like a non-porous trap, sealing in moisture and blocking out air. This creates the perfect dark, damp environment for fungus to thrive and burrow deeper into your nail bed.
We see this exact scenario all the time at the clinic, patients try to hide the issue for months, only to find a much more severe infection waiting underneath once the polish comes off.
Now that summer is coming to an end and sandals are going back into the closet, it is the absolute perfect time to stop hiding the problem and actually fix it.
Treating fungal nails is a journey that takes time, making autumn the ideal season to start your care plan so you can have healthy, clear nails just in time for next year.
Let’s stop masking the issue and start fixing it for good.
