Q. I have fungus on my toenail. What can I do?

A. Onychomycosis is the most common reason patients seek the care of a podiatrist. Treatment options include mechanical or chemical debridement, topical or oral antifungal merits and any combination of these therapies. Partial or complete toenail removal followed by topical phenol is another alternative. In severe cases fungal nails may cause significant pain and discomfort and lead to disfigurement and loss of mobility. There are oral antifungals and newer topical antifungals now on the market. Contact your podiatrist for what is right for you.
