What Dermatologists Say
Dr. Richard Thomas
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Be patient when treating nail fungus. Once the infection progresses beyond a certain point, the treatment will take time to work.”
Dr. Stuart Maddin
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Don’t neglect your nails. If your nail has changed in appearance without knowing why, have a doctor check it. A fungal infection becomes progressively more challenging to treat with time.”
Dr. Charles Lynde
Markham, ON, Canada
Patients need to understand that it takes a long time to cure nail fungus. It can take from 6-12 months for the nail to fully grow out and replace the diseased nail.”
Dr. Richard Thomas
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Onychomycosis brings a unique therapeutic challenge—the nail structure makes it difficult to penetrate with topical treatment, but the side effects become a concern with oral treatment.”
