- Toenail fungus (onychomycosis)Toenail fungus (onychomycosis) is an infection that makes nails thick and discolored. It usually starts as a pale spot under the tip of the nail. Over time, the nail may crumble. In Los Angeles, podiatrist Dr. Kourosh Harounian evaluates and treats fungal nail infections.
- Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis)Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) happen when fungi get under the toenail, making it thick and discolored. In Los Angeles, podiatrist Dr. Kourosh Harounian evaluates infected nails to determine how far the infection has spread. Care may involve prescription antifungal medicine or debridement to trim back damaged nail tissue.
- Thickened fungal toenails (onychomycosis)Thickened fungal toenails (onychomycosis) occur when a fungal infection develops under the nail, causing it to become discolored and hard to trim. In Los Angeles, podiatrist Dr. Kourosh Harounian evaluates fungal nails to determine the underlying infection and review management options, including prescription medication or nail debridement.
- Ingrown toenails (onychocryptosis)An ingrown toenail (onychocryptosis) occurs when the edge of a nail curves into the surrounding skin, causing pain and irritation. In Los Angeles, podiatrist Dr. Kourosh Harounian treats ingrown toenails and performs procedures like a matrixectomy to remove the offending nail edge.
- Chronic ingrown toenails (onychocryptosis)Chronic ingrown toenails (onychocryptosis) happen when the edge of a nail repeatedly curves into the surrounding skin, causing ongoing soreness and swelling. In Los Angeles, podiatrist Dr. Kourosh Harounian evaluates persistent cases and provides conservative care or minor procedures to remove the offending nail edge.
- Bunions (hallux valgus)A bunion (hallux valgus) is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe. In Los Angeles, podiatrist Dr. Kourosh Harounian treats bunions stemming from joint stress. Care options include shoe changes, padding, custom orthotics, or corrective surgery.
- Bunion pain (hallux valgus)A bunion (hallux valgus) is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe joint. Dr. Kourosh Harounian provides podiatry care in Los Angeles for patients experiencing irritation and trouble fitting into shoes. Treatment options often start with protective padding or custom orthotics, though surgery may be considered to realign the bone.
- Chronic nerve pain (neuropathic pain)Chronic nerve pain (neuropathic pain) develops when damaged nerves send persistent, faulty pain signals to the brain. In the feet, this often feels like burning or tingling that does not go away. In Los Angeles, podiatrist Kourosh Harounian, DPM, offers Scrambler Therapy to treat this ongoing nerve discomfort.
- Foot nerve pain (neuropathic pain)Foot nerve pain (neuropathy) occurs when damaged or irritated nerves cause burning, tingling, numbness, or sharp sensations in the feet. It often stems from issues like diabetes or pinched nerves. Los Angeles podiatrist Dr. Kourosh Harounian evaluates foot nerve symptoms to identify the underlying cause and discuss treatment options.

In Los Angeles, podiatrist Dr. Kourosh Harounian provides matrixectomy procedures to target the nail root and keep the edge from growing back into the skin.
- Laser toenail fungus treatment (PinPointe Foot Laser)Laser toenail fungus treatment uses focused light energy to target fungal infections of the toenails (onychomycosis).

The laser shines through the nail plate to reach the fungus living in the nail bed beneath without cutting the surrounding skin.
