If you've tried home remedies for at least 3 months for a fingernail or 12 months for a toenail and haven't seen improvement, contact your doctor. You should also schedule an appointment if the nail looks like it's becoming discolored or thicker.  If the nail becomes very thick, it can be difficult to treat it using home remedies so it's important to get a medical diagnosis and treatment plan. The doctor will take a nail culture and examine it under a microscope to make a diagnosis. Prescription medications are one of the most effective treatments for nail fungus, even though they can take a few months to work. Your doctor may prescribe terbinafine tablets every day to treat the fungus. Talk with your doctor about side effects, such as rashes and liver problems. Let your doctor know if you're taking antibiotics, asthma medications, heart medications, or antidepressants since oral antifungal medications can interact with them. If you're concerned about the side effects of oral antifungal medications or your nail infection isn't severe, your doctor may prescribe a clear antifungal polish that you use once a day. Trim the nail and wash it with water or rubbing alcohol before you brush the polish onto the nail. Some antifungal lacquers only need to be used every other day or a few times a week, so ask your doctor for specific directions. If your doctor thinks your nail might respond to light treatment, they'll probably have you soak the nail in water before applying a urea-based cream which will soften the nail even more. You'll cover it with a bandage for 1 day and then soak the nail again. Then, you'll scrape the nail off and apply more cream. Repeat this treatment for 2 weeks. You'll apply an antifungal cream after you've scraped off the infected part of the nail in order to completely clear up the nail. For severe infections, your doctor might want to remove the nail so they can put medication directly on the infection that's under the nail. Once the nailbed is treated, your nail should eventually grow back healthy.
