Topical Medication

One treatment option is topical medication. This has a cure rate of about five to ten percent. This is because it does not penetrate all the way through the nail bed. All the fungus must die in order to be cured. Furthermore, people can be using these topical solutions for years and see little to no results. This is why our nail doctors do not recommend this course of treatment.

Oral Medication

Oral medication has a cure of about sixty percent. Although it is higher than topical medication, it is more dangerous. Our nail doctors do not recommend this treatment option because it can lead to liver toxicity. As a result, people taking this medication are at risk. You would need constant blood tests to ensure your liver isn’t being damaged. Also, it can be even more dangerous for people with other underlying health conditions. As a result, it is not the recommended treatment option for toenail fungus.
