Onychomycosis: Evaluation, Treatment Options, Managing Recurrence, and Patient Outcomes

Tracey C Vlahovic. Clin Podiatr Med Surg. 2016 Jul.

Abstract

Onychomycosis is the most common nail disease seen in podiatric practice. Effective long-term management remains problematic. We need to treat onychomycosis effectively to prevent its progression into a severe, debilitating, and painful condition, and to manage recurrence. With new agents now available and greater discussion on management strategies, this article reviews the appropriate evaluation of the disease, treatment options, and optimal patient outcomes.
