Is there a clear top treatment for nail fungus? what is it?

Keep in mind...: The fda has recently come out with a blanket statement that toenail fungus can not be cured. It is "managed" by a number of modalities, but it can always come back in the future. Oral antifungal medicines (lamisil), topical medications (formula 3), laser therapy, surgical removal, homeopathic applications (tea tree oil). Talk to a podiatrist for what will be best and most effective for you.

Variety of options : Topical or oral medication can help. Visit a local podiatrist for further evaluation and treatment. Importance of prevention is big as well. Antifungal powders, sprays & changing socks are important.
