Toenail Fungus
Clearer, healthier nails with a treatment plan built for how slowly nails grow.
What it is
Fungal nail infections cause thick, discolored, or crumbling toenails. The toes are warm and often damp, which is exactly what a fungus likes, and once it is under the nail it is stubborn. With the right plan, and patience while a healthy nail grows out, we can improve the health and appearance of your nails.
Proudly serving neighboring communities of Del Rio, Eagle Pass, Carrizo Springs, Crystal City, and others.

Frequently asked questions
- Why does it not go away on its own?
- Nail fungus lives inside and under the nail, where it is hard to reach. It usually needs a targeted, sustained treatment plan.
- How long does treatment take?
- Because nails grow slowly, visible improvement can take several months. We will set clear expectations at your visit.
- Is it contagious?
- It can spread, so we will also give you simple steps to protect your other nails and your household.
