Nail fungal problem
Hello Doctor,
I had a nail fungal infection earlier. I completed a full 12-week course of Terbinafine 250 mg(daily 1 tablet)and also used Amorolfine nail lacquer(weekly 1 time).
Now my nails look almost normal in color and thickness. There is no yellowing or thickening. Only a slight mark near the tip is left, which is gradually growing out. Sometimes the surface looks a bit rough, its maybe for amorofile layer!
Could you please advise:
Can this be considered fully cured?
How long should I continue Amorolfine?
Is there any need for further oral medication?
Any precautions to prevent recurrence?
I have attached the current nail image for reference.
The nail already has a layer of Amorolfine on it
and There is no pain anymore.
Thank you.
