ABSTRACT

Onychomycosis is a very common nail disease. It may be caused by dermatophytes, yeast, and nondermatophyte fungi. Traditionally, oral antifungal medications have been used to treat fungus, although they may be associated with side effects and drug interactions.Topical treatment provides an alternative, to bypass the effects of the oral medication system; Recent research has focused on drug development and development. Physical therapy and laser are used in conjunction with topical, which can help penetrate the nail plate. In this review, strategies from all categories are clarified: both novel and experimental evaluation methods and the effectiveness of newly developed therapies. More long-term research is needed to determine the effectiveness of various therapies, but treatment levels are improved as patients adhere to treatment and follow preventative measures to avoid recurrence.
