A member asked:
It takes months to see results from oral terbinafine oral. i finished. is it waste of time to keep using brush on fungus prescription?

Not totally: If I understand you correctly, I believe you are referring to the scaly lesions on the feet and not the affected nails. Since the oral medication does not get to the skin surface well, removing the scales may be of some benefit.
