Many people pay more attention to the condition of their skin and feet as summer approaches. Woollen socks and winter shoes will soon be swapped for sandals and light summer footwear, so now is a good time to examine your feet and nails. If you notice any changes in your nails, a culture test will identify fungal infections, the most common cause of nail problems. Nail alterations could also be a sign of other illnesses<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please note that culture tests cannot be performed if you are using artificial nails. You must remove gel nails and nail varnish etc. before the culture test. To enable a proper sample to be taken from the nail’s surface, avoid manicures prior to the culture test.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fungal nail infections are common<\/b><\/h2>\n

Nail problems are often caused by fungal infections. For example, up to 8% of the population has the fungal nail infection, onychomycosis. A fungal infection can be diagnosed with a culture test, in which a tiny piece of nail is snipped or scraped off for testing. The results are ready within four weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the sample test is positive, you should see a doctor, since fungal infections are seldom cured by self-treatment. Our specialists have a range of treatments for ensuring that your feet and nails are ready for the summer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fungal culture test samples are analysed in two phases <\/b><\/h2>\n

There are two phases when analysing fungal samples. First, a native examination is performed on the sample with a microscope. This provides a positive or negative preliminary result. In most cases, a fungal culture test is then performed, with results in 1\u20134 weeks. <\/span><\/p>\n

A culture test can either confirm a negative result, identify the dermatophytes that are causing the infection, or lead to other findings. Once the cause of the infection has been identified, the doctor can select the right treatment to control the fungal infection and restore healthy nails.
