What is nail Fungus Treatment (Laser and Medication)?
Nail fungus (onychomycosis) is a stubborn infection in which the nail thickens, turns yellow, crumbles easily and lifts from the nail bed; it most often affects the big toe. Because psoriasis, injury or other nail diseases can look similar, it is recommended to confirm the fungus in a nail sample before treatment. The most effective treatments are oral antifungal medicines prescribed by a doctor, but they need assessment for liver effects and drug interactions. In mild cases affecting a small part of the nail, medicated lacquers or solutions can be used. Laser treatment relies on light energy heating the fungus under the nail; it can be an option for people who cannot take medication, but in studies complete cure rates are lower and more variable than with medication, and the evidence is limited. Whatever method is chosen, a healthy nail takes months to grow out and recurrence is common.
