Is surgery an effective treatment for nail fungus?
Yes, surgery can be an effective treatment for nail fungus, however, this is typically a last resort when theere is a lot of pain and discomfort associated with the fungal infection. Most likely by the time you get to this stage you will have already tried topical and oral medications. Basically what this entails is the surgical removal of your entire nail, so that a new nail can grow. As you would imagine, it will take a long time for the nail to come in, so you should not expect results overnight. Another non-surgical option is a new laser treatment that has also been shown to be effective for certain individuals.
