 Not only is toenail fungus unsightly, but fungal nails can become very painful as the fungus burrows under the nails, causing nail deformities and painful ingrown nails. Fungus can affect the skin as well, causing dry, scaly, flaky, itchy skin that causes physical and emotional discomfort. If you've been wondering if you have fungus, call Dr. Kelly Gagan to schedule a free toenail fungus laser consultation. Dr. Gagan treats patients of all ages and is proud to offer pinpoint laser treatments right in her Lutherville office.
