Toenail fungus treatments in Walnut Creek can vary. The most common treatment options are laser treatment, oral medication, and topical solutions.

Afterward, they will advise you on the best treatment option. It is important to see a specialist get rid of a toenail fungus infection.

Treatment Options for Fungus

One of the most common treatment options is topical solutions. They are sold over-the-counter. Most of these topical solutions have a cure rate of less than five to ten percent. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way through the nail bed. All the fungus must die in order to be cured.

Another common treatment option is an oral medication. This has a cure rate of about sixty percent. Although it is much higher, it can lead to liver toxicity. Our nail doctors do not recommend this treatment option. Also, you would need to have constant blood tests to ensure your liver isn’t being damaged.

Laser Treatment for a Toenail Fungus 

Toenail fungus treatments in Walnut Creek 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.
