Nail fungus Treatment teenager

Nail fungus (onychomycosis) can develop as early as adolescence and is often associated with feelings of self-consciousness or embarrassment. Fungal infections of the nails can occur particularly after playing sport, visiting swimming pools or when the feet sweat excessively. Early treatment by a dermatologist usually prevents the infection from spreading and significantly improves the chances of a full recovery.

Overview of treatment options

Depending on the severity of the nail fungus, various treatment options may be considered. In the early stages, specialised medicated nail varnishes may be sufficient. In cases of more severe infection, modern topical or systemic treatments are used. We also provide advice on hygiene measures and how to prevent reinfection.
