Question by John: How do I control nail fungus until I go to the doctor?
I had gone to the doctor and found out I have a fungus nail on my toe. She told me I have to go to a dermetalogist t take pills. Is thee anything out there to cure it without the pills? The fungus may be under the nail also, which is the reason I need to take pills.

Answer by Dr Frank
Fungal nail infections respond to topical nail lacquers and oral anti fungals. Once the diagnosis is confirmed by sending nail clippings to mycology I can’t really understand why your GP needs to refer you. Even the most average of GPs would simply manage the problem themselves!

Nail fungus, also known as Onychomycosis, is an infection caused when fungi infects one or more of your nails. A nail fungal infection may begin as a white or yellow spot under the tip of your fingernail or toenail.
