Yes, toenail fungus is a treatable condition.  Trouble is, the treatment times are long - 6 months or more,  depending on severity - and require consistent application without interruption.

Topical treatments for nail fungus infections contain anti-fungal agents that interfere with the development of the fungus and eventually destroy it.  They work when in direct contact with the fungus causing the infection so care must be taken when applying the treatments to ensure the medications penetrate to the fungus itself.

If you’re finding it hard to stick with your treatment regime, or you’re just about to embark on a treatment program, check out our guidelines for treating toenail fungus. The guidelines suggest keeping track of your treatment progress by using treatment templates.

Believe me, this isn’t busywork. The templates will give you a sense of being in control of your treatment program from day one. They provide a useful reference point from which to measure the extent of your toenail fungus infection over time. Seeing your infection reduce is a great motivator to stick to your treatment and cure the nail fungus completely.

You may need more than 6, especially if you want to follow the growing out period of your healthy nail - which takes approximately 12-18 months for toenails.
