Toenail Fungus Treatments
Types of Toenail Fungus Treatments
Just like any type of infection, it’s best to treat toenail fungus at the first sign of it. Once a proper diagnosis is made, there are a few different toenail fungus treatment options. Check out the following section to learn more about them.
Oral Medication
Generally, oral medication is the first step in treating fungal infections. It will help the nail grow in healthier, while slowly replacing the infected area. Even though this treatment can be effective if started early enough, it can take months to completely eliminate the infection.
Medicated Nail Polish
Another toenail treatment option is medicated nail polish. Similar to oral medication, the nail polish will have to be applied daily. Depending on the severity of the infection, you may have to use the nail polish for up to a year.
Medicated Nail Cream
Antifungal creams are another common treatment option. After soaking the affected nail, the cream can be applied. Generally, it’s more effective if you thin the nail so the medication can penetrate through the hard surface to properly treat the fungus.
