Fungal Nail Testing
Discoloured, thickened or brittle nails are often assumed to be caused by a fungal infection, but this isn’t always the case. Conditions such as trauma, psoriasis and ageing can produce similar symptoms, making an accurate diagnosis essential before starting treatment.
At Christchurch Foot Clinic, we offer simple and reliable fungal nail test kits to determine whether a fungal infection is present. A small sample of the affected nail is collected and sent to a specialist laboratory for analysis.
Having a confirmed diagnosis means we can recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for you, avoiding unnecessary or ineffective treatments and helping you achieve the best possible results.

Despite previous treatments elsewhere, GP advice and a course of antibiotics there was no improvement until I visited Christchurch Foot Clinic. A huge thank you to Elodie, I can now walk comfortably again!
