Are Your Toenails or Skin Acting Funky? Let’s Talk Fungal Troubles!
Fungal toenails and smelly feet/Athlete’s foot can sneak up on anyone, turning healthy skin and nails into a bit of a nightmare. But don’t worry — your feet are in safe hands! At General Foot Care, our experienced team specialises in Fungal nail treatment and Podiatry in Arnold, helping restore comfort, confidence, and healthy nails.
Let’s see if any of these sound familiar:
Yellow, Thick, or Crumbly Toenails
Are your toenails yellow, brittle, crumbly, or giving off an unpleasant odour? That’s a classic sign of a fungal infection. Tried over-the-counter paints or nail polishes without much success? You’re not alone — these rarely work because they can’t reach deep under the dead nail where fungus hides.
And about Tea Tree Oil — please stop using it! It’s not strong enough to penetrate under the nail and can sometimes irritate your skin rather than help it.
Flaky or Peeling Skin Between the Toes
Is the skin between your toes peeling or flaking even though you keep moisturising? You might be dealing with Athlete’s foot, not dry skin. Moisturising actually makes it worse — fungus thrives in damp, warm environments.
Itchy, Irritated, or Smelly Feet
If your feet are constantly itchy or producing a strong odour, smelly feet/Athlete’s foot could be the culprit. The good news? Our podiatry and chiropody experts in Arnold can clear it up safely and quickly.
Discoloured or Misshapen Nails
Are your toenails looking different from your fingernails — yellow, white, darkened, or oddly shaped? That’s a tell-tale sign of a fungal infection. But don’t worry; our Podiatry in Arnold specialists will find out exactly what’s going on.
What Is a Fungal Infection, and How Can We Help?
A fungal infection develops when microscopic fungi (a bit like mould) settle into your nails or skin. They love damp, enclosed spaces — like shoes, socks, and sweaty feet. Over time, they make nails thick, discoloured, and brittle, and skin itchy or peeling.
At General Foot Care, we use proven Fungal nail treatment techniques at our Podiatry in Arnold clinic to get your feet healthy again.
How We Fix Fungal Nails and Athlete’s Foot
1. Expert Diagnosis
We’ll assess your nails and skin carefully to see what’s really going on. Not every discoloured nail is fungal, so a proper diagnosis is key.
2. Fungal Nail Test (97% Accurate)
Our in-clinic Fungal Nail Test is quick, pain-free, and gives results within minutes. Unlike GP samples that take weeks, this gives instant clarity so we can start the right Fungal nail treatment immediately.
Even if your GP test said it wasn’t fungal but your nails still look discoloured, we can retest — our method is far more sensitive and reliable.
3. Personalised Fungal Nail Treatment (No Tablets Needed)
You don’t need oral antifungal tablets or costly laser sessions. Here’s how we fix it safely and effectively:
- We gently file down the fungal nail using a professional electric file — pain-free because the infected nail is dead and crumbly.
- Filing exposes the nail bed to open air — fungus hates dry, airy environments.
- We then apply a professional-strength antifungal treatment that changes the nail’s pH and dries out the fungus, stopping it from growing.
- You’ll apply it twice a day at home. We’ll see you again every 8–10 weeks to remove more infected nail as the new, healthy one grows through.
This approach is safe, cost-effective, and highly successful — no liver tests, no side effects, and visible results in weeks.
4. Why Oral Antifungal Tablets Aren’t the First Choice
Oral antifungals like Terbinafine can strain your liver and require blood tests. You’d need to take them for months, and they’re not guaranteed to work. Our podiatry and chiropody treatment is safer, proven, and just as effective.
5. Why Laser Treatment Isn’t Always Worth It
Laser therapy sounds advanced but often requires multiple expensive sessions (sometimes £700+). Results are inconsistent, and many patients still end up with fungal nails. Our Fungal nail treatment in Arnold is trusted, affordable, and effective — with visible improvement you can see.
Prevention Tips from Our Arnold Podiatry Team
Once your Fungal nail treatment is complete, we’ll show you how to prevent reinfection:
- Keep feet dry and clean.
- Change socks daily and rotate shoes.
- Use antifungal shoe spray or powder weekly.
- Avoid sharing footwear or nail clippers.
- Let feet breathe — fungus thrives in moisture.
Our podiatry and chiropody specialists can recommend the best products for long-term prevention and foot hygiene.

Damaged Nails – Not Always Fungal, But Always Fixable
Thick, cracked, or painful nails might not be fungal — but they still need expert care. Damage can result from trauma, psoriasis, or previous infections. Our Arnold podiatry and chiropody clinic can restore your nails’ appearance and comfort safely.
We use gentle electric filing to thin thick nails and restore a more natural shape. After treatment, they’ll look and feel healthier.
Signs of Damaged Nails
- Thickened, hard nails
- Cracked or splitting nails
- Discolouration (yellow, white, or dark)
- Odd shape or curvature
- Pain or pressure in shoes
Our team will identify the cause and create a treatment plan — whether fungal or not — so your nails look healthy again.
