Fungal infection, or mycosis, is one of the most common skin conditions people develop. Millions of these fungi already live on our skin, in soil, on plants, and around the home — trouble starts only when a particular species begins to overgrow in one area, such as under a nail.
Because a fungal nail infection develops gradually, it's easy to miss in its early stages — you won't notice a change overnight. A visible shift in the shape, colour, or texture of your nail, or in the skin surrounding it, is usually the first real sign that an infection has taken hold. If you're noticing these changes, it's worth getting it looked at rather than waiting it out. Dr. Aditi Jha's team offers thorough evaluation and effective, evidence-based treatment for fungal nail infections.
Fungus thrives in warm, moist conditions — which is why certain habits and conditions make an infection more likely.
Excessive foot sweating creates a moist surface that's an easy breeding ground for fungus.
Walking barefoot in damp, communal spaces like gyms and shower areas raises exposure to fungal spores.
A prior nail injury, an existing skin condition, or regularly wearing closed-toe shoes can make nails more vulnerable.
A weakened immune system can also make someone more susceptible to fungal nail infections.

Dr. Jha's clinic uses laser and photodynamic therapy — a modern, well-specialised approach that has proven considerably more effective than standard treatments, without the toxicity concerns of some older methods, and without taking long to show results.
The laser targets the fungus living beneath the nail as a whole, helping stop the infection from spreading further or worsening the surrounding skin. As the nail grows out, the area is gradually restored to its natural, healthy appearance.
In photodynamic therapy specifically, light-sensitive compounds are applied to the area and then activated with light, triggering a reaction that targets the affected cells directly. Because it generates very little heat, the treatment tends to be well tolerated with minimal discomfort.
Beyond restoring the look of your nails, laser treatment offers a reliable, thorough way to clear the infection at its root.
