Laser toenail fungus treatment in Dunedin can vary. Our nail doctors will recommend the best treatment option after they consult you. During your initial visit, they determine if what you have is a toenail fungus infection. Afterward, they will inform you what will cure you of the toenail fungus infection. Typically our nail doctors recommend laser treatment.
Treatment Options
One of the most common treatment options is topical solutions. They are sold over the counter. Most of these topical solutions have a cure rate of less than five to ten percent. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way through the nail bed. All the fungus must die in order to be cured.
Another common treatment option is oral medication. This has a cure rate of about sixty percent. Although it is much higher, it can lead to liver toxicity. Our nail doctors do not recommend this treatment option. Also, you would need to have constant blood tests to ensure your liver isn’t damaged.
