Nail Fungus: Advice from the Podiatrist

A yellowed, thickened, or brittle nail is often a sign of a fungal infection (dermatophytes, mold, yeasts). Without proper treatment, the fungus progresses, damages the nail deeply, and becomes increasingly difficult to eliminate.

  • It is essential to act quickly with a professional solution, recommended by podiatrists.

Ineffective remedies or delayed treatments only delay healing. To stop the fungus at the root, choose a targeted treatment protocol, tested and approved by experts.

Our PODERM® Nail Fungus Serum eliminates the fungus while renewing the nail to restore a healthy appearance from day one.

Thanks to the natural Mimetix™ technology, it forms a protective lipid barrier that optimizes nail regeneration and prevents recurrence.

  • Eliminates the fungus and regenerates the nail
  • Restores a healthy appearance
  • Prevents recurrence

60% of people wear shoes that are too small without realizing it. The result? Repeated micro-shocks that promote the appearance of fungus or worsen an existing infection. How to check my shoe size?

  • Remove the insole from your shoe.
  • Place your bare foot on it, ensuring that your heel is aligned with the back of the insole.
  • Check the space between your longest toe and the front edge of the insole. There should be one finger's width for everyday shoes and two for sports shoes.

The PODERM® Nail Fungus Booster Serum is used in conjunction with the PODERM® Nail Fungus Serum to accelerate the treatment and intensify the regeneration process.

  • For stubborn or persistent fungus
  • Speeds up healing
  • Intensive regeneration

PODIATRIST’S ADVICE

  • Trim your nails regularly
    TIP No. 1

    Trim your nails regularly

    To prevent fungal proliferation, trim your nails regularly and keep them short. This also enhances the effectiveness of the treatment by reducing the risk of infection.

  • Practice strict foot hygiene
    TIP No. 2

    Practice strict foot hygiene

    Wash your feet daily with a pH-neutral soap, dry thoroughly between your toes, and change socks every day. Choose natural materials like cotton or wool and wash them at high temperatures to eliminate fungal spores.

  • Avoid traditional nail polishes during treatment
    TIP No. 3

    Avoid traditional nail polishes during treatment

    Traditional or semi-permanent polishes can block the action of antifungal treatments. It is better to choose a breathable polish like PODERM's Color Care, designed to promote the absorption of antifungal active ingredients while maintaining a neat appearance.

  • Preserve the health of your cuticles
    TIP No. 4

    Preserve the health of your cuticles

    Cuticles play a protective role by preventing the entry of pathogens. Use PODERM® Emollient Serum to soften and push them back without cutting, thereby strengthening the natural barrier of the nail.

  • Nourish your feet regularly
    TIP No. 5

    Nourish your feet regularly

    Well-hydrated skin provides better protection against infections. Avoid creams that are too rich in water, as they promote maceration. Use the Very Dry & Damaged Feet Serum, formulated without water, to hydrate and help prevent skin conditions.

  • Follow the treatment strictly and avoid contamination
    TIP No. 6

    Follow the treatment strictly and avoid contamination

    Do not share your pedicure tools and disinfect them after each use. At home, let your feet breathe, walk barefoot or wear sandals. Be strict and patient: an antifungal treatment takes time and requires consistency until a healthy nail grows back.
