Get Relief from the Pain and Frustration of Nail Problems for Marquette and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula

These conditions may affect fingernails or toenails, and in some cases, they follow surgery or an injury. If left untreated, they can spread or cause complications. At Lilly Dermatology, our entire team works together to diagnose, treat, and prevent nail fungus and bacterial infections for Marquette and communities throughout Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, helping patients get lasting relief and healthier skin and nails.

Our Approach to Treating Nail Fungus and Bacterial Infections

Many patients worry that care for nail fungus and bacterial infections will be painful. In reality, treatments are often simple and effective. Options may include antifungal creams, oral medications, drainage of infected areas, or minor in-office procedures. Our entire team works together to provide gentle, supportive care for nail fungus and bacterial infections, while Dr. Mercy Odueyungbo—our board-certified dermatologist—oversees complex cases when needed. Patients who are seeking treatment of fungus on the toenails or fingernails can feel confident knowing their health is in the hands of an experienced, compassionate team.

The Most Common Nail Fungus and Bacterial Infections We See

Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis)

This fungal infection often causes thickened, discolored, or brittle nails. While common, nail fungus on fingernails or toenails rarely improves without treatment. With antifungal medications and tailored care,our team helps patients restore healthier nails and stop reinfection.

Bacterial Nail Infections

Cuts around the nail, nail biting, or improperly trimmed nails can let bacteria in, leading to redness, swelling, and pain. These infections may progress quickly if untreated. Prompt care ensures safe healing and prevents the spread of bacteria.

Infections After Surgery or Injury

Any surgical procedure, wound, or even a minor injury can leave the skin or nail bed vulnerable to infection. Our team monitors healing closely and provides fast, effective treatment for infections that develop after surgery.

Ingrown Toenails That Become Infected

Ingrown nails press into the skin, sometimes causing painful bacterial infections. Treatment may involve trimming, removing part of the nail, and ensuring the area heals without recurrence.

Recurrent or Stubborn Infections

Some patients struggle with nail fungus and bacterial infections that keep coming back. At Lilly Dermatology, we create individualized treatment plans to address the underlying cause and provide long-term relief.

When You’ll Start Feeling Better from Nail Fungus and Bacterial Infections

Bacterial infections often improve within days of starting antibiotics or topical treatments, while fungal nail infections may take weeks or months to fully resolve. Because nails grow slowly, visible improvements may take time—but with consistent care, healthy regrowth is possible. Our team supports you throughout the process to ensure the best results.
