How can i effectively treat athletes foot, and fungal toenails?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
We can try!: Toenail fungus is very common, but difficult to cure 100%. We can test the nail to see if it is a callused or traumatized nail or if it is indeed fungus, and from there you have several options: topical or oral antifungal medications, laser nail treatment, or removal of the nail in severe cases. See your doctor to talk about which treatment is right for you. Athlete's foot is easier to treat!
