Toenail fungus treatments in Sterling Heights can vary. Some types of treatments include topical solutions, oral medication, and laser treatment. In our clinics, our nail doctors first consult you. They determine if you really have a toenail fungus infection. Afterward, they recommend the best treatment option for you. Our nail doctors typically recommend laser treatment.

Toenail Fungus Treatments

The most common treatment for toenail fungus is a topical solution. it is sold over the counter and is very easy to obtain. the only issue with this treatment option is that it only has a cure rate of about five to ten percent. this is because the solution does not penetrate all through the nail bed. therefore, it does not kill all the fungus on your nail.

Another treatment option is an oral medication. our nail doctors do not typically recommend this. This is because it can lead to liver toxicity. Also, if you have any other underlying issues, it can be dangerous to take.

Laser Treatment for a Toenail Fungus in Sterling Heights

Toenail fungus treatments in Sterling Heights 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.
