The potential side effects of oral medication toenail fungus treatment products are the primary reason why many people choose not to use them.

Fungus is one of the most resilient living substances on the planet. Because of this fact, fungal infections are very difficult to eliminate and can spread from one body part to another. In fact, a very large number of people who suffer from nail fungus more than likely had a fungal infection of the skin to begin with. Toenail fungus infections occur when a fungal infection of the skin penetrates the nail either through a small cut, crack or break in any of the nails. Understanding how to keep from ever getting a skin fungus infection will go a long way towards preventing a nail fungus infection.

The answer is immediately! Once a nail fungus infection is discovered, everyday that it is allowed to go untreated is simply extending the amount of time you will need to eliminate it. If you detect an infection, find yourself a reputable nail fungus treatment and start the process. Fungi are live things that grow and multiply at great speed we the conditions are right. And living in a warm, protected and damp area underneath the nail beds of your toes is ideal for those little monsters! Small nail fungus infections are not nearly as difficult to treat as severe nail fungus conditions. Once the fungal agents have really dug in and gotten a grip on one or more toenails, you will never know how long it will take to fully kill the infection. Standard treatment times range from 4 weeks to a full year and beyond and the more severe the infection, the longer the treatment time.

The answer to this question is still unclear. Most forms of laser treatment have only provided the industry with small, poor-quality studies involving a small sample groups of patients with lighter cases of nail fungus, some of whom appeared to experience improvement after the treatment.
And while most studies have reported no adverse effects, the system zaps the nail fungus with very high heat, which in theory could damage healthy tissue around the toenail. In addition, many treatments can often cost up to or over $1,000 and most medical insurances do not cover these costs. And perhaps most disappointing is the fact that the majority of patients who tested and saw positive results from laser treatment had to return for additional treatments within 4-6 months. The idea of the “one-stop-shop” solution is evidently not the case.
