Fungal Toenail Infection

Fungal Toenail Infection? At some point in our lives we will develop toenail disease, and we are 30 times more likely to suffer from this than children and 90% in the elderly. It is generally thought that at any one time that 13% of the adult US population suffer this! It is much more difficult to heal when it is has invaded the nail bed, and identifying the correct cause with together with using the correct medication; natural remedies like tea tree oil, over the counter loceryl, curanail or in the extreme stages of the disease prescription drugs like diflucan, terbinafine the correct diagnosis and medication toenail fungal infections will take many months, (up to 9 in some cases) to cure.

What I intend to do in this very brief synopsis is to highlight to suffers a number of important areas that are connected with the successful treatment of toenail fungus. If after your research you are contemplating the use oral treatment for infected toenails or fingernails you should consult your GP or if you prefer your podiatrist and together read the literature on possible or adverse affects with vital organs such as your liver, kidneys or heart. It is very important to mention to your doctor any medical complaints you are suffering as this has a bearing on the treatments used.

It is fairly normal for GP's to advocate oral treatment for this visually unpleasant and normally pain free condition, but in writing this there is a plethora of other topical treatments available for treating nail fungus disease. We have prescription drugs like; ciclopirox (Penlac) 8% Nail Lacquer, Itraconazole Sporanox and Diflucan, natural remedies like Fungisil, Nail RX, Zetaclear and tea tree oil; over the counter medication, Loceryl (Amorolfine) and Curanail (Amorolfine) 5% Nail Lacquer. These include tea tree oil and nail varnish. If your toenail fungal infection is severe, and the fungus is persistently re-occurring, avulsion or debridement might be the only viable solution, but this is not common and should be the last option for you.
