Toenail fungus treatments in Dallas can be difficult to find. The most common toenail fungus treatments are topical solutions, oral medication, and laser treatment. Most people try out topical medication. This is because it is the easiest to get. Our nail doctors would first consult you. They would determine if you have a fungus. After, they will let you know the best treatment option for you.
Treatment Options
The most common treatment option is topical solutions. They have a cure rate of about five to ten percent. This is because the topical solution does not penetrate all the way through the nail bed. All the fungus must die in order to be cured. Also, all topical medication is given over the counter. It is not a strong medication.
Another treatment option is oral medications. This has a cure rate of about sixty percent. Although it is higher than topicals, it can be dangerous. Our nail doctors do not recommend oral medication because it can lead to liver toxicity. Furthermore, you would need constant blood tests. This is to ensure your liver is not being damaged.
Laser Treatment for a Toenail Fungus
Toenail fungus treatments in Dallas can vary. If you have caught nail fungus, it can be easily treated using the FDA-approved PinPointe laser, which typically only takes on treatment. Other treatments like topical solutions and oral medication are not as effective. Topical solutions have a very low cure rate. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way through the nail bed. This is because it can lead to liver toxicity. You would need to have consistent blood tests throughout the course of taking the medication.
