I've had this "Onychomycosis problem" for many years. Fungal nail infection - PubMed Health: I have not been concerned enough to see a doctor to get the drug:
because of the concerns about liver damage. Doesn't seem worth risking medical problems to resolve a cosmetic problem. I did use Penlac painted on my toe, and it resolved the problem on my right toe -- but then years later I got it on my left toe. I've tried the various drugstore versions of antibacterial/anti-fungal treatments mixed with anti-freeze ingredient ethylene glycol. It doesn't seem to solve the problem. Therefore, I was very interested in the new "laser treatment" It sounds very expensive! There doesn't seem to be any "hard science" behind the treatment either, nor solid successful results. I did notice that Groupon has offers of "deep discounts" already for the service and other companies are trying to get FDA approval to sell their devices. I thought maybe it could be a good investment opportunity, but it sounds like competition from other companies could drive the profit margin down sharply. It also sounds like a device that a company could "lease" to people with the problem, so they could do it at home on a daily basis for a few weeks and solve their problem. That would sure make the treatment more practical for busy patients.
