Are there any fungal nail infection treatments?

Yes.: Treatment for fungal nails is a challenge. Nothing works fast and the best results out there are only about 70% or so effective. Thicker nails are more difficult to treat. Topical medications are ineffective by themselves unless the nail is thin. Oral terbinafine is successful but has side effects. Laser is safe, but not covered by insurance. Successful treatment takes months to see results.

Many!: There are different topical and or oral medication treatments. Visit your podiatrist or dermatologist to see which treatments would be best suited for you. Home remedies are usually ineffective.
