nail fungus

Treatment options include topical medications, oral antifungal drugs, and sometimes surgical removal of the nail. The choice depends on the severity of the infection and the type of fungus causing it. 

Sometimes. Some mild cases might respond to over-the-counter antifungal treatments, but most cases require prescription medication for effective treatment. 

For most people, Nail Fungus isn’t dangerous, but it can lead to painful complications and secondary infections, especially in those with weakened immune systems or diabetes. 

Possibly. There’s some evidence to suggest a genetic predisposition to Nail Fungus, meaning it can run in families. 

Varies. The cost varies widely depending on the treatment type, with topical treatments generally being less expensive than oral medications or surgical options. 

Sometimes. Nail Fungus can be stubborn, and recurrence is possible even after successful treatment, especially if preventative measures aren’t followed. 

If left untreated, Nail Fungus can lead to permanent damage to the nail, spread to other nails or skin, and cause pain or difficulty with walking. 

Nail Fungus may not be painful initially but can cause discomfort or pain as the infection progresses, especially when pressure is applied to the affected nails. 

Nail Fungus does not typically go away on its own. With proper treatment, however, it is possible to clear the infection, though it may take several months for the nail’s appearance to return to normal.
