Nail Fungus: Paint or Tablets?: Your Guide to Effective Treatment Options

Nail fungus, known technically as onychomycosis, is a nail condition that can be unsightly and embarrassing, often causing discolouration, thickening, and brittleness of the nails. It may make you feel self-conscious about wearing open-toe shoes or exposing your nails in public. This guide dives into the different nail fungus treatment options – from paint to tablets – offering you helpful tips to restore the health of your nails.

Understanding Nail Fungus: Beyond the Surface

Nail fungus can begin as a small white or yellow dot under your nail, then can grow into a bigger issue that causes discolouration, thickening, and discomfort. 

There are various treatments you can use to help clear up your nail fungus, from antifungal nail paints and creams to oral tablets. Each comes with a different approach, some offering quick visual results and others targeting the infection’s root cause. 

Nail Paint Fungal Nail Treatment 

Antifungal nail paints are packed with active ingredients which tackle the fungal infection while helping improve the appearance of your nails. 

Antifungal nail paints offer a convenient solution for and combating infections. Their easy application makes them a simple choice for hiding discoloration or uneven texture. Consistent reapplication is necessary for optimal results, and they often work best when used alongside other antifungal treatments. For the most effective outcome, apply antifungal nail paint in a well-ventilated area and ensure it dries completely.

Oral Antifungal Tablets 

After taking oral antifungal tablets, the infected nail typically shows a reduction in discolouration, with healthy, pink nail tissue gradually replacing the yellow or brown areas. The nail also becomes thinner, smoother, and more resilient as new growth pushes out the damaged, brittle sections. Antifungal tablets target fungus at the source, working internally to combat the infection. These oral antifungal tablets are particularly effective for severe cases, providing a comprehensive treatment when topical methods are insufficient. By circulating through the bloodstream, they can reach and treat infections in the nail bed and surrounding tissue, ensuring a thorough eradication of the fungus.

Oral antifungal medications can have potential side effects so medical monitoring is essential during treatment, and consulting with your health care professional is advised. Maintaining a consistent treatment schedule is crucial to the effectiveness of the medication.
