Suggest Treatment For Fungus Infection On Toenails

Hi, Damaged my big toenail about a year ago, toenail fungus got in and also spread to three other toes. Treating them with over-the-counter medication for the past three weeks (success ? - too early to tell), but original large toenail looks like it is about to fall off. Who might I see about this in central NJ (New Brunswick area)?

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello, thank you for your contact to healthcaremagic. If I am your doctor I would like to tell you that toe nail fungal infection requires a long duration of treatment. I advice you to take fluconazole tablet 150 mg. Twice daily for approximately for three months under your doctors guidance. The infected nail gradually disappear and new nail appear from the base. Do not discontinue treatment until you are not free of infection. If you have to ask me anything you can contact ne. Dr Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist.
