Expert Green Nail (Pseudomonas Infection) Treatment At Harley Medical Foot and Nail Clinic
A green nail, also known as chloronychia, is a nail infection caused by the Pseudomonas bacteria. It typically appears as a green or dark discoloration beneath the nail plate and is often associated with moisture trapped between the nail and nail bed. Common causes include trauma, prolonged exposure to water, artificial nails, or pre-existing nail separation (onycholysis).
At Harley Medical Foot and Nail Clinic, our podiatrists accurately diagnose the infection and provide professional treatment to remove bacteria and restore the nail’s health. Treatment may involve careful cleaning and debridement of the affected nail, topical or prescribed antimicrobial therapy, and advice on keeping the nail dry and protected. In more persistent cases, laser therapy may be used to aid bacterial clearance and promote new, healthy nail growth.
Our goal is to stop the infection early, prevent spreading, and help your nails regain a healthy appearance and strength.
