Why is the combination of topical and oral treatments considered most effective? What role does laser therapy play in treating nail fungal infections? When is surgical removal of the nail considered in treating onychomycosis? Are there any natural remedies for nail fungus that are supported by scientific evidence? Key Highlights (One Sentence Each) "Onychomycosis typically affects toenails due to warm, wet environments conducive to fungal growth, often caused by wearing tight, non-breathable shoes." "The infection starts as a small white or yellow spot under the nail, gradually changing the nail's color and potentially separating it from the nail bed." "Dermatophytes are the primary cause, but yeasts and molds can also lead to nail infections." "Increased risk factors include age-related decreased blood circulation, sweaty feet, and exposure in damp communal areas." "Athlete's foot is closely linked to fungal nail infections, with a history of the former increasing the risk of the latter." "Topical creams like amorolfine and efinaconazole are first-line treatments for mild cases, with up to 50% cure rate." "Oral antifungals, such as terbinafine and itraconazole, offer higher effectiveness but carry risks like liver toxicity." "Combining topical and oral treatments is often the most effective approach." "Laser therapy, a non-pharmaceutical option, destroys fungal cells through heat but requires multiple sessions." "Surgical removal is the last resort, and while natural remedies like tea tree oil are popular, they lack strong scientific backing."
