Our nail doctors for toenail fungus recommend laser treatment. Laser treatment is considered the best option for toenail fungus treatment. There are many other treatments for toenail fungus, but none are as effective as laser treatment. Some other forms of treatment that our nail doctors do not recommend are topical solutions, pill medication, or toenail removal.

Nail Doctors

Our nail doctors for toenail fungus do not recommend the use of topical solutions as a form of treatment. This is because topical solutions are the least effective of all the treatment options. They have a cure rate of 5 to 10 percent. Also, it takes a long time to see results. This is because topical solutions cannot penetrate all the way down to the nail to kill all of the fungi. Although it may seem like an easy and simple treatment option, you will not see the results you want and it will not cure toenail fungus.

Another treatment for toenail fungus that our nail doctors do not recommend is an oral medication. This is because oral medication can cause other health risks. The oral medication has a higher cure rate, it’s around 60 percent, but it has its risks. May cause liver toxicity. As a result, you would have to constantly take blood samples to make sure that your liver is not damaged. For this reason, our nail doctors do not prescribe oral medication for toenail fungus treatment.

Toenail removal is another treatment option that our nail doctors do not recommend for toenail fungus. Toenail removal does not eliminate nail fungus. This is because the nail fungus still lives in the nail bed under the nail and would still cause the nail to grow the same with fungus. This treatment option is not recommended as no treatment is being performed to directly kill the toenail fungus.
