I have green nail syndrome and got a prescription for topical gentamicin. i am wondering how i know when this is working. from what i have read the infection can be gone but the nail can still be green. is there any indicator of it clearing?

green nail syndrome is caused by a fungus and not bacteria. Gentamicin is ineffective against fungi,
