Fluconazole: This medication is indicated for onychomycosis, but like other oral antifungals it is not perfect. See your practitioner for assistance. Good luck !

Not right for everyo: While it may work you should have a small sample taken to confirm its a fungus. Could be micro trauma or something worse and would be wise to send it for pathology test.

Fungus: There are many different treatments for fungal infections. Oral antifungals can be given but monitoring of your liver enzymes is recommended. There are cold lasers and topicals too. Ask your podiatrist.
