Medication and laser: There are a number of ways to get rid of toenail fungus. You can take oral antifungal drugs, use a medicated nail polish or get treated with a laser that's specific for destroying nail fungus. Each treatment has its risks and benefits. Consult your dermatologist to determine the most appropriate treatment for you.

Yes: There are laser treatments and there are lacquer treatments that are painted on the nails and oral treatments for nail fungus. Talking to a doctor and letting them examine the nails to be sure it is fungal will help them decide on a treatment that is appropriate for a patient.
