At Central Florida Foot and Ankle Center, with offices in Winter Haven, Lakeland, and Davenport, Florida, Dr. Tatiana Wellens and Dr. Maria Jaramillo-Dolan provide expert care for nail fungus that just won’t go away. While many people start with creams from the drugstore, nail fungus can be stubborn and deep. These experienced Foot Doctors offer medical guidance and minimally invasive procedures to treat infections at their source and restore the look and health of your toenails.

Spotting the Early Clues

Fungal nail infections often begin with small changes: a yellow or white tint, a thickening of the nail, or a strange texture. You might notice the nail becoming crumbly or pulling away from the toe. These signs can easily be brushed off, but if the condition worsens or spreads, it’s usually a clue that it’s time for medical care. The earlier the problem is treated, the easier it is to clear.

More Than Skin Deep

What starts on the nail surface can work its way under the nail bed, where creams and sprays have trouble reaching. Nail fungus may also lead to cracked skin, foot odor, or even swelling if it’s left untreated too long. For people with diabetes or circulatory issues, these infections can create more serious health concerns. That’s why the team at Central Florida Foot and Ankle Center takes a careful look at each case.

Why a Foot Surgeon’s Care Makes a Difference

Once the infection becomes embedded or spreads to multiple nails, over-the-counter options just don’t cut it. DPMs and Foot Surgeons like Dr. Wellens and Dr. Jaramillo-Dolan use minimally invasive procedures along with oral or topical medications to treat the fungus where it lives. These techniques can gently reduce thickened nail tissue and clear the infection without the need for major surgery or long downtime. You’ll get expert advice tailored to your unique foot health and lifestyle.
