Onychomycosis
Our skin helps protect us from germs, but sometimes it gets infected by them. Common types of skin infections are:
- Bacterial: Cellulitis, Impetigo and Staphylococcal infections.
- Viral: Shingles, warts, and herpes simplex.
- Fungal: Athlete's foot, toe and nail fungal and yeast infections.

Fungal and yeast infections are caused by a fungus. Mushrooms, mold, mildew and yeast are examples of fungi, which live in air, soil, water and on plants. Some live in the human body.
Only about half of all types of fungi are harmful to humans. Toe and finger nail fungus is in that group.

Tinea is the name of a group of skin and nail diseases caused by a fungus. Types of tinea include:
- Tinea pedis - foot infection (Athlete's foot)
- Tinea cruris - infections affecting the groin (Jock itch)
- Tinea capitis - scalp
- Tinea corporis - body areas, aka ringworm
- Tinea barbae - beards
- Tinea unguium - nails
Learn More
For skin and minor nail infections, you can apply medicine directly to the infected area. Oral anti-fungal drugs are used for serious infections.
Some of the better OTC creams may help get rid of many tinea infections, e.g. athlete's foot and jock itch. Other cases require comprehensive medical attention.

Fungal infections under nails, aka Tinea unguium or Onychomycosis, are typically very hard to treat, because the nasty fungi are protected by nails. Topical medications cannot penetrate through the nail. Oral medications may be toxic and are not recommended for children, elderly people and diabetic patients.

Made up of layers of hardened protein (keratin), toenails and fingernails protect the softer tissues of your toes and fingers.
Ingrown nails and minor injuries may lead to serious problems, such bacterial and fungal infections (Onychomycosis), which require medical treatment.

Doctor prescribed topical medications, home remedies, anti-fungal solutions from a local pharmacy and miracle cures from the Internet will not help the vast majority of patients with nail infections. Any home-based treatment course is a challenge for a long time. Relapse is very common.

Topical medications cannot go through thick fungal nails. Oral medications are known to have systemic side effects. There is no good monotherapy, and millions of people with mycotic nails suffer from this disorder for decades.
Fungus in the nail is a complex problem, which requires a comprehensive approach.

A comprehensive long term therapy is required to cure toenail and fingernail fungus and reduce the probability of recurrence.
Such therapy must include the use of multiple treatment modalities, critical patient’s environment decontamination efforts, a rigorous preventive regimen and patient's compliance.

Welcome to Fungus-Free Zone
Pharmaceutical industry, wide-spread use of home remedies and "miracle cures" sold on the Internet have impacted consumer’s perception of foot and nail disorders by simplifying these complex diseases. As a result millions of people suffer from fungal foot and nail infections for decades and spend thousands of dollars on medications, which lack clinical efficacy and may have harmful side effects.
All anti-fungal drugs, lasers and light source devices used as one single standalone treatment modality (monotherapy) provide limited long term curative efficacy. Patient’s environment decontamination and prevention are typically ignored by practitioners, and most patients contract an infection again.
Forget over-the-counter medications and home remedies! Stay clear of toxic drugs. Beware of medical practices, which claim that one laser treatment of a couple of fungal nails will kill the fungi forever. Consider a comprehensive course of treatment. Consider Nail'n'Toe!
