Can nail fungus be cured?

Sometimes: The more extensive the nail involvement the more difficult it is to cure. Oral medications are about 60 per cent effective and take 1 year for thr nail to grow out. Lasers can be used but it is unclear if the results will last beyond 2 years. A safe alternative to oral medications which works in a subgroup is oral olive leaf extract.

Nail fungus treatmen: "cured" so it will never come back- no. It is an infection so may recur. But various treatments- topicals, oral meds or surgical intervention may alleviate for long periods of time.

"Cured": In the sense they can certainly be treated and cleared up, but if you want a guarantee, you need to go to midas muffler. Any infection, once "cured, " runs the risk of returning.
