Why don't over-the-counter topical medications help treat my toenail fungus?

A: Because toenail fungus is beneath the nail, it is hard to reach. He toenail is designed to offer protection to the toe and therefore isn't easy to penetrate. Many of the topical medications that are available to treat toenail fungus, whether a liquid, gel, or cream, do not allow the medication to penetrate the nail. Even some of the prescription medications only work a small percentage of the time.

The topical antifungal medication that I recommend in my Houston podiatry office is Formula 3. It penetrates the nail and treats the fungus more effectively than any topical medication I've encountered. In fact the company stands behind their product and offers a money back guarantee if the toenails do not clear. Formula 3 is dispensed from our Houston podiatry office.
