The Problem With Nail Infections
It is incredible to think but nearly 40 million people in the United States have some degree of fungal nail infection. Although fairly common, it is a problem that is not remedied easily .
Without a doubt, ugly and unsightly finger and toe nails can be embarrassing and the temptation to cover them with footwear or nail varnish is all too common.
Most nail fungus infections are characterized by brittle, often yellowing nails and occur more often that not on the toes rather than the fingers.
Known medically as Onychomycosis, this is a fungus often preceded by athlete’s foot. Sometimes, nail damage can predispose a subsequent infection.
The problem is that once a nail becomes infected it becomes very difficult to treat. Conventional treatments include taking pills called griseofulvin which costs around $350 and only has a 50%-70% of properly curing the problem. It also may trigger unpleasant side effects such as headaches, nausea and more rarely irreversible liver damage! Furthermore, alcohol is prohited during treatment.
Terbinafine is a relatively new toenail fungus medicine which should be taken for between 6 and 12 weeks and has less side effects. A 3 month course costs around 500$ and again only offers a 50% to 70% possibility of a cure.
The FDA have approved undecylenic acid which can be brushed on to improve appearance although results are uncertain.
Some consider that nail removal is a sensible option. However, when a new nail begins to grow it is almost always infected.
