Laser toenail fungus treatment in San Francisco. There are many treatment options to toenail fungus. It is important to see a nail doctor, a specialist in toenail fungus. Our nail doctors will first give you a consult. They will determine if you have nail fungus. Afterward, they will explain treatment options.

Treatment Options

A common treatment option is topical solutions. They have a cure of about five to ten percent. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way through to the nail bed. All the fungus must die in order to be cured.

Another treatment option is oral medication. This has a cure rate of about sixty percent. Although it is higher, it can lead to liver toxicity. This is why our nail doctors do not recommend this treatment option.
