Other treatment options
Many people do not like to take pills for long periods. In such cases, there are a few options (they do not work) but one can give it a try.
Antifungal lacquer. Individuals who have only a mild nail infection may want to try penlac (ciclopirox). This antifungal lacquer has been hyped up to cure fungus. The ointment is painted on the nail once a day. After seven days, you wipe the collected layers of the lacquer with alcohol and start again. This must be done for 12 months. The truth is that this bullshit method works in less than 2% of individuals. The treatment is costly, time consuming and it usually does not work. Flush the penlac down the toilet.
Topical medications are often prescribed by physicians. If your physician gives you a prescription of a topical antibiotic, then you need to change your doctor. Topical medications alone are worthless and only clueless doctors give out such prescriptions. You can apply all the topical antibiotics in the pharmacopeia, the fungus will remain till eternity. Topical medications alone do not work-so do not buy them.
Surgery
The best and most effective treatment for fungus nail infection is surgery.
If your nail infection is severe or extremely painful, removing the nail is fast, cheap and works. Many consumers may wonder about this treatment, but it saves you time, money, and agony. A new nail will usually grow in its place; the nail may take about 8-12 months to grow back and will just like your old nail. Toenail removal can be done in an office and is a relatively painless procedure if your doctor knows how to inject local anesthetic. In fifteen minutes, you will be free of the infection. There is no need for any more medications afterwards.
