Nail infection
This form is for patients who suspect they have a nail infection. Some types of these infection can be caused by fungus which will result in a thickened, discolored, or brittle nails. In other cases sometimes you can develop an infection next to your nail.

Both of these can be treated with over-the-counter treatments available at your local pharmacy. If your infection persists, spreads, or you are unsure whether you have a fungal nail infection, please complete this form for further medical advice.

eConsults are not a direct booking system for face-to-face (F2F) appointments. We will assess your symptoms and provide the most suitable course of action, which may include advice, treatment, or a referral if needed.

Misuse of the eConsult system may delay care for you and other patients. Please ensure that you answer all questions honestly and accurately. Manipulating responses to trigger red flags or selecting an unrelated condition may result in delays in your care.

If your symptoms are complex, involve multiple conditions, or require ongoing management, you may be advised to book a face to face appointment instead.

Urgent cases – If you feel your condition is life-threatening, please call 999 or visit A&E.

Thank you for helping us provide safe, effective care.
