YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Straightforward information to help you plan your care.
Does nail reduction cure a fungal infection?
FootPrints nail reduction is not presented as a cure for a fungal infection.
Discuss diagnostic assessment and treatment options with an appropriate healthcare professional.
Can nail appearance confirm a fungal infection?
A nail described as fungal-appearing has not necessarily received a confirmed fungal diagnosis.
The care discussion must distinguish appearance from diagnosis.
Does FootPrints provide antifungal prescriptions or laser treatment?
FootPrints offers nail reduction, education and referrals for fungal-appearing nails.
Contact an appropriate healthcare professional for advice about diagnosis, prescription medicines or other treatment options.
What should I tell the nurse about a fungal-appearing nail?
Tell the footcare nurse about nail changes, previous assessments and products or treatments already being used.
Relevant history helps the care discussion go beyond the nail’s appearance.
Will my nail look normal after one appointment?
FootPrints does not promise a normal-looking nail after one visit for a fungal-appearing toenail.
Discuss the expected benefit and any need for further assessment before care is provided.
How should I prepare for fungal-appearing nail care?
Before fungal-appearing nail care, have your medication and allergy information and questions ready for the nurse.
Ask for any preparation instructions specific to your needs rather than assuming a routine from another treatment applies.
What should I do on the day of fungal-appearing nail care?
On the day of fungal-appearing nail care, follow the instructions given for the care you received.
Washing, products, dressings and activity advice depend on the assessment; a universal routine is not prescribed here.
What should I watch for in the week after fungal-appearing nail care?
During the week after fungal-appearing nail care, follow the agreed plan and raise new or continuing concerns with the appropriate healthcare professional.
The first-week label is a check-in point, not a seven-day recovery promise.
When should I arrange follow-up for fungal-appearing nail care?
Follow-up for fungal-appearing nail care should be agreed with the nurse based on assessment and continuing needs.
Do not wait for a two-week website checkpoint to seek advice about a new concern.
How much does fungal-appearing nail care cost at FootPrints?
FootPrints lists an initial footcare visit at CAD100 and a follow-up at CAD70.
