Why do we test?
At Pod, we always clinically test your nail to provide an accurate and reliable diagnosis of fungal nails.
Fungal nails can often be mistaken for other nail conditions, and misdiagnosis can result in inappropriate treatment, delay in starting the correct treatment, and prolonged healing times.
Some nail conditions that can easily be mistaken for fungal nail infections include:
Trauma, psoriasis, eczema and an auto-immune condition called Lichen plants causing them to become thickened, discoloured, ridged, ridged, brittle and complete lifting or detachment from the nail bed.
What is the Same-day Fungal Test
This test works by analysing a small sample of the affected nail using advanced molecular diagnostic techniques.
This allows us to to detect the presence of the fungi that cause nail infections with the highest degree of accuracy, whilst requiring the smallest of samples.
It's worth noting that up to 65% of damaged nails are not fungal related, according to a study published by the British Journal of Dermatology. Therefore it is important to to have any suspected nail infection or condition properly diagnosed to ensure the correct treatment is provided.
