Onychauxis is a condition characterised by the thickening of the entire nail plate, often accompanied by transverse ridging. This condition can cause discomfort, affect the appearance of your nails, and potentially lead to more serious complications if left untreated. At The Walking Clinic, we understand how onychauxis can impact your daily life and are here to provide expert diagnosis and treatment.
Onychauxis can be caused by various factors, including:
Regular thinning of the thickened nail to improve comfort and appearance
Addressing fungal infections or circulatory issues
Application of antifungal creams or ointments if infection is present
In severe cases of fungal infection, oral antifungal agents may be prescribed
Recommendations to prevent further nail trauma
