Treatment of Nail and Foot Conditions

At the LeoDerm Medical Center, modern evidence-based diagnostics and treatment of nail and foot skin conditions are provided, with an individualized approach to each patient.

Diagnosis — the first step toward effective treatment

During the consultation, a dermatologist assesses the condition of the nails, foot skin, and surrounding tissues. If necessary, modern diagnostic methods are used, including:

• nail dermoscopy (onychoscopy) — a non-invasive method for evaluating the structure of the nail and nail bed;
• laboratory диагностика of fungal infections (scraping, microscopic examination, culture test);
• nail clipping — examination of a nail fragment to confirm onychomycosis;
• histological examination — used when neoplasms or other complex nail apparatus pathologies are suspected.

Accurate diagnosis makes it possible to determine the nature of nail changes and choose the most effective treatment strategy.

Treatment of Nails and the Nail Apparatus

Comprehensive patient care includes treatment for the following conditions:

• ingrown nail (onychocryptosis) — elimination of painful nail plate ingrowth;
• onycholysis — detachment of the nail plate;
• paronychia — inflammation of the tissue surrounding the nail;
• inflammatory nail diseases associated with dermatological conditions (psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis);
• nail dystrophies of various origins;
• nail apparatus neoplasms (benign and precancerous changes).

Nail treatment aims to reduce inflammation, improve the condition of the nail apparatus, and stabilize the course of chronic dermatological diseases.

Treatment of Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis)

Nail fungus is one of the most common nail conditions. Without treatment, the infection can gradually spread to other nails and the skin of the feet.

The treatment plan includes:

• confirmation of onychomycosis through laboratory diagnostics;
• selection of topical or systemic antifungal therapy;
• nail plate correction using specialized equipment, if necessary;
• assessment of the need for medical pedicure and guidance on its proper performance;
• recommendations for hygiene and prevention of reinfection.

This comprehensive approach allows for effective treatment of nail fungus and gradual restoration of healthy-looking nails.

Treatment of Nail Psoriasis

Nail psoriasis can manifest as pitting, spots, thickening, brittleness, or deformation of the nail plate. At the LeoDerm Medical Center, dermatologists conduct a detailed assessment of the nails and tailor therapy aimed at:

• reducing inflammation;
• improving the condition of the nail apparatus;
• supporting normalization of nail plate growth.

In most cases, treatment focuses on controlling symptoms and maintaining long-term remission.

Treatment of Foot Skin Conditions

The skin of the feet is constantly subjected to significant mechanical stress, which can lead to:

• corns, calluses, cracks, and hyperkeratosis;
• bacterial and fungal infections;
• dermatitis, dryness, and discomfort while walking.

At the LeoDerm Medical Center, the cause of skin changes is identified, and treatment is prescribed to reduce symptoms, restore the skin’s barrier function, and improve comfort while walking.
