Taking terbinafine for 4wks. only have athlete's foot on left foot & those nails are rough. will this med clear up fungus & athlete's foot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: For severe fungal infections of skin a oral dose of Lamisil (terbinafine) can help. Won't be long enough for nails. Sometimes a skin cream needed or even biopsy of skin to confirm the diagnosis.
