Quick Fungal Nail Test is now at Compleet Feet. If you suspect you have a fungal nail infection, but are just not sure, get a diagnostic test done quickly! Time is the essence as fungal nail infections spread quickly and treatment becomes harder. The more the infection invades the healthy nail from the edge, the more it becomes entrenched. This means treatment has to be more aggressive to effectively eradicate the infection. At Compleet Feet we now have the revolutionary Diafactory Tinea Ungium 5-minute test.
The most common dermaphyte is Trichophyton Rubrum, which is an opportunistic dermaphyte. When conditions are right and there is a weak point in the nail plate, in it jumps. Depending on the health of an individual and life-style, it can thrive unabated and spread throughout the infected nail plate. The main source of nutrition being keratin.
The result is a thickened, crumbly and discoloured nail plate. Dermaphytes will move down to be harboured in the lower layers of the nail plate above the nail bed. In time the nail bed becomes damaged which makes it imperative to get fungal infections treated as a matter of expediency.

Not all thickened, damaged nail plates are as a result of nail fungus. A podiatrist has to make the differential diagnosis between other etiological factors like trauma and psoriasis. At Compleet Feet if we are not sure, we do recommend a diagnostic test. Standard tests take 10-14 days.
Standard GP tests, involving patients sending in nail scrapings can take up to 4 weeks to get a result. The results are often inconclusive and there is considerable room for error. One of the main errors is that patients do not take correct scrapings. An active sample should be taken proximally where the infection is invading into the nail plate. It should also be taken quite deep down into the nail plate structure. A podiatrist is skilled in taking appropriate scrapings.
While waiting for the result of conventional tests, the fungal infection can spread deeper and further. Valuable treatment time is wasted. The quick fungal nail test Diafactory test negates wasted time. Takes just 5 minutes to get a result. It is 97% accurate and detects 99% of all common fungal dermaphytes. Once the podiatrist has the result either negative or positive, a specific treatment plan can be devised. Often presenting patients have spent a fortune painting on anti-fungal solutions which were not required. Guess work can be costly on many levels.
