Spring warmth brings sandals, sweating, and unfortunately—fungus. Fungal infections like athlete’s foot and onychomycosis (toenail fungus) thrive in moist, warm environments, making this season a hotspot for flare-ups.

If you’ve had fungal issues before, prevention is key. Switch to breathable socks, avoid walking barefoot in public places (like pools or gyms), and use antifungal powders if you’re prone to sweaty feet. If you’ve just had a pedicure, especially one done in a non-clinical setting, inspect your nails regularly for discoloration or thickening.

For stubborn or recurring infections, Gauld Foot and Ankle provides prescription topical treatments, oral antifungals, and in-office procedures to manage nail health. If nails are significantly affected, we also partner with Sona Medical Pedicure Spa, where patients can receive careful nail trimming and non-cosmetic care in a clean, clinical environment.

If you’re noticing itchy, flaky skin or changes in your toenails, don’t wait. Book an appointment with Gauld Foot and Ankle to treat the issue before it spreads.
