Pills or laser: It does not matter if you have distal or proximal onycho. The treatment is the same.

This is one of the : Few times that i might recommend topical treatment along with cutting away (debriding) the distal end of the nail (s). The idea is that you away the fungus as much as you can and then apply the medication.

Several treatments.: The reason you hear so many different treatments for toenail fungus is because there is no perfect, sure-fire treatment that works 100% of the time. I've seen natural oil remedies work, but very rarely. You can also try laser therapy, antifungal creams, paints, or even oral medications if your doctor deems you healthy enough to take them.

T. RUBRUM: DSO usually caused by T. rubrum. Oral terbinafine may be best choice.
