Thick, yellow, brown, black toenails occur mainly because of a fungus or mushroom infection that grows slowly in the toenails and underneath nail bed of the toes.
People that get this infection usually do because that have a slight defect in their immune system.
The immune system does not fight fungus in this area in about 30% to 50% of humans.
Many medical treatments and over the counter treatment have been used over the years and all do not afford the patient a REAL CURE.
After 35 plus years of treating these nails myself- I have added one method to another to finally afford a real significant improvement or cure.
No one method works. I know now that several specific methods do work.
The nails need to be reduced mechanically in the office.
The Nomir Laser, which is the only one that I have found effective, is attached to the names for 16 minutes painlessly, usually 3 times.
Topical liquids prescription medications like Jublia are always needed to prevent reocurance.
Oral Lamasil or Sporonox now is helpful, but only in small pulse dosing- NOT for 3 to 4 months straight anymore.
My podiatry specialty has become the treatment of fungal nail. I now know, that all other treatments do not provide a cure or even a very satisfied result.
