Toenail Fungus
Do topical antifungals work for this condition? Some do, but to a very limited extent; the best topical is a mixture of thymol in chloroform, available only by prescription. Nails are like steel- very few chemicals can penetrate them. The best results for treatment of toenail fungus are seen with prescription oral antifungals, and these must be taken continuously for up to 12 months.
