Tired of thick, discolored, crusty, painful
toenails?
So are most people. In most cases, this is due to a fungus. The offending fungus is generally the same fungus that causes athletes foot on
the skin. The skin fungus is often effectively treated with topical
medications. However, when the fungus gets into the toenails,it is
difficult for the medications to penetrate the nail plate and reach the
fungus. This is why over the counter treatments have been
ineffective. Prescription topical medications also have shown limited
results. The best results of clearing fungus toenails have been from oral
medications. Although many people are wary of the side effects of oral
anti-fungal medications, they are in fact relatively rare. When
considering oral medication for fungus toenails, blood testing is
necessary. Laser therapy for fungus toenails have unfortunately yielded
inconsistent results.
Within the past few months, there have been some exciting and encouraging
news. There have been at least two new topical toenail fungus treatments
that have become available. Studies have shown that although the data has
not been overwhelming, the new medication appear to be much more effective than
the older topical products. Also these topicals are completely safe and
no blood work is needed.
So don't lose hope, there has never been a better opportunity to have healthy
normal looking toenails !
