For Onychomycosis, Fingernail "I've been fighting this for a year with little improvement. I was not following directions correctly. I called a dermatologist about it. She told me to wash my hands every day, apply the gel every day for a week, clean it off with alcohol, then thin the nails with a file or sandpaper, then soak them in half water and half cider vinegar for 20-30 minutes, wash your hands again to get rid of the smell, and start over again. It's finally working. You have to be diligent about it."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I had a toenail fungal infection (still do). My insurance would not pay for it. I paid for it twice. Does not work after 4 months. No effect."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have been using 'Penlac' since May 2011 and have found that my toenail has been feeling and looking a lot healthier since the treatment. I was very surprised at how fast I saw a difference. It was, however, very expensive. I am very satisfied with the results and well worth the price of a nice nail."
