There are lots of ways to treat toenail fungus: surgery, targeted lasers, prescription medication, and topical treatment. There are advantages and disadvantages to each treatment method, but generally the most advisable course is to begin with the least invasive treatment.

The first step is determining whether or not you have nail fungus. While we at toenail-fungus.org always advise that you consult with a physician when diagnosing and treating toenail fungus, we have also provided an extremely convenient toenail fungus quiz that will help determine the severity of your condition and suggest the best possible treatment methodology to deploy. Don’t go it alone; you can end up wasting valuable time and even risk your condition worsening if you ignore the early signs of nail fungus and allow it to proliferate. One of the important keys to treating toenail fungus is in early detection, and we hope that our quiz and other toenail fungus resources will help.

A few of the most common toenail fungus symptoms are:

  • Thickened toenails
  • Brittle, crumbling, misshapen, or ragged nails
  • Dull nails with no shine or reflection
  • Cloudy, dark, or discolored nail surface

While consulting a physician is important, the symptoms of toenail fungus should be easy to identify, even for a layman. Your course of treatment will then be determined by the severity of the fungal infection and the method with which you are most comfortable.

Prescription toenail fungus medication can cause a variety of negative side effects, most notably permanent liver damage. Surgery and targeted laser treatment can be expensive and many health insurance policies do not cover toenail fungus treatments because they are considered “cosmetic”. For most toenail fungus sufferers, a non-invasive topical toenail fungus treatment is the best place to begin.

When choosing a toenail fungus treatment, the most important thing to look for is the active ingredients. The right toenail fungus treatment should contain 10% Undecylenic Acid, Tea Tree Oil, and Sunflower Oil. These three ingredients are essential for any topical toenail fungus treatments to be effective.

These topical treatments are available both online and in pharmacies and drug stores.  Toenail-fungus.org has compiled a detailed comparison of topical toenail fungus treatments that can be ordered online. This treatment comparison guide breaks down our ratings of the best toenail fungus treatments available on the market today.

Always follow the instructions of the manufacturer exactly when using a toenail fungus treatment. To add value to your toenail fungus treatment regimen, we also suggest that you follow the toenail-fungus.org toenail fungus treatment guide when you use a topical toenail fungus treatment. Our experienced researchers have determined that by following the steps of the guide, patients will be more likely to cure their nail fungus.
