Suggest Homeopathic Treatment For Fungal Infection In The Toe Nail

Morning. I am in remission of CLL for 6 yrs. I v noticed that my toenails have become very brittle. I injured by L big toenail abut 2yrs ago which fell off & grew back thick and uneven. I injured it again three days ago and the same happened. I saw a Podiatrist and was told he could give me medication but would be strong and could damage my liver. He suggested it appears the fungus is down to the root and recommended total removal of the nail because it will never grow back normal. He claims the skin will heal but i won t have a nail any longer. Could glue on a fake nail for cosmetics. I m not comfortable with that. Isn t there a homeopathic way to cure my situation without having to lose my toenail?

Hello,

For toenail fungus you need to take an oral antifungal. I suggest you to take an oral antifungal e.g either Fluconazole tablet or Terbinafine 250mg tablet once a day for 6-12 weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Kakkar S., Dermatologist
