Nail fungus, often caused by fungi, can lead to various health and well-being issues. It typically results in discolored, thickened, and sometimes brittle nails. If left untreated, these infections can spread, affect other nails, and even cause pain or secondary infections. To address these issues, using an anti-fungal nail product is highly recommended. Such products are specially designed to target and effectively treat fungal infections. By applying the anti-fungal product regularly, you can eliminate the responsible fungi and improve both the appearance and health of your nails. In addition to treating the infection, the product helps prevent recurrence by creating an environment less favorable to fungal growth. Regular use not only promotes rapid healing but also offers effective prevention against future infections. Adopt this treatment to restore the health of your nails and avoid potential complications.

How to recognize nail fungus?

Fungus typically manifests as a yellowed, thickened, brittle, or deformed nail. It may also slightly detach, emit an unusual odor, or show whitish or brownish streaks. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to act quickly.

What is the most effective treatment for nail fungus?

The most effective treatment is a targeted antifungal care, applied daily. At PODERM®, our high-tolerance natural serums penetrate deeply into the nail to eliminate the fungus, restore the nail, and promote healthy regrowth, without harming the skin.

How long does it take to treat nail fungus?

It depends on the severity and the regrowth rate of your nail. On average, it takes between 6 and 12 weeks to see visible improvement, and several months for complete regeneration. Consistency in treatment is key.

Can I continue wearing closed shoes during the treatment?

Yes, but it is recommended to choose breathable shoes, regularly disinfect your socks, and avoid prolonged exposure to humid environments. Good hygiene is key to preventing recurrence.

Can nail fungus come back?

Yes, especially if the treatment is stopped too early or if the environment remains favorable to fungal growth (moisture, sweating, tight shoes). That’s why PODERM also offers preventive care to strengthen and protect the nail once healed.

Are PODERM® treatments natural?

Yes. All our treatments are formulated with naturally derived active ingredients and are free from harsh chemicals. They are tested under dermatological and podological supervision, and are suitable for sensitive skin, children, pregnant women*, and people with diabetes*.

*Please refer to the usage precautions for each product.

How to prevent nail fungus?

Adopting good daily habits can significantly reduce the risk of nail fungus:

  • Keep your feet and hands thoroughly dry, especially after showering or sports
  • Change your socks daily (preferably breathable materials)
  • Wear breathable shoes and avoid tight-fitting styles
  • Disinfect your shoes regularly, especially after a fungal infection
  • Protect your feet in public wet areas (pools, locker rooms, showers…)
  • Use clean, personal manicure/pedicure tools
  • Let your nails breathe between nail polish applications to prevent weakening
  • Moisturize your nails regularly with a natural treatment, such as PODERM Regenerating Oil
  • Monitor your nails regularly and act at the first sign of anything unusual

A gentle and consistent care routine is your best ally for keeping nails healthy, strong, and protected.
