Nail fungus is stubborn once it sets in, as a result, is difficult to treat.<\/p>\nNail fungus is stubborn once it sets in, as a result, is difficult to treat.<\/p>\n
However, a recent study in the Journal of Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology examined 10 treatment options. <\/p>\n
And they found some cheap options that are up to 90% effective despite some of the most common and expensive prescription topical antifungals having a success rate below 10%.<\/p>\n
The treatment options are complicated.<\/p>\n
1.\tOral antifungal drugs target only specific organisms. Thus, if your condition is caused by more than one organism, you must go on a cocktail of several drugs.<\/p>\n
2.\tOral antifungals often fail to reach the nail bed because of poor blood circulation to your hands and feet; as a result, they can barely penetrate the layer of fungus inside the nail.<\/p>\n
3.\tThe side effects of oral antifungals include headaches, rashes, nausea, intestinal symptoms, peripheral neuropathy, and liver damage.<\/p>\n
4.\tWhile oral antifungals are commonly labeled as effective, they tend to work in fewer than half of cases.<\/p>\n
5.\tMost prescription topical antifungals have a success rate below 10%. Additionally, those that are only successful after 10\u201312 months are expensive in the long term.<\/p>\n
6.\tTea tree oil can cure up to 80% of cases if applied for about a year, though 10% of those who use it experience skin irritation.<\/p>\n
7.\tTopical cough suppressants that contain eucalyptus oil, camphor, and menthol are surprisingly effective, curing 83% of certain organisms but almost none of other organisms. Thus, they may need to be applied alongside other natural topical solutions.<\/p>\n
8.\tNatural coniferous resin and ageratina pichinchensis extract are both relatively effective against certain organisms, curing 60\u201370% of cases. <\/p>\n
9.\tOzonized sunflower oil can cure up to 90% of certain organisms but only 20% of others.<\/p>\n
10.\tLaser treatment is not currently considered to be particularly effective.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
Evidently, there are some solid treatment options like tea tree oil, cough suppressants, and ozonized sunflower oil.<\/p>\n
