Why? Because there isn't any one treatment that is 100% effective or even works the majority of the time, even when using it for a year! Fungal nail infections are inherently frustrating to cure and have always been a difficult and often impossible endeavor for dermatologists. This book covers every imaginable treatment, including those with little supporting data (the authors state this when it applies).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePurpose\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe purpose is to educate dermatologists on all current approaches that are available for treating onychomycosis.

There are photographs showing clinical appearance of infected toenails from different dermatophtyes and nondermatophyte molds. Tips for using the dermatoscope for confirming onychomycosis are discussed. Surgical debridement is covered in detail.
