McKinney Foot Doctor Discussed Fungal Toenail Infections

Fungal Nails are caused by an infection that occurs underneath the surface of your nails. Sometimes the infection can penetrate inside your nails. In both cases they can be quite painful and impede your ability to walk or run. The fungus can cause the nail to become discolored, misshapen, and malodorous. Sometimes we can prescribe oral or topical medication and remove the diseased nail portions through a process known as debridement. In other cases we can surgically remove the infected nail and eliminate the fungus completely. This can allow a new healthy nail to grow.
Formula 3 Topical Antifungal


Formula 3 is an anti-fungal topical treatment for toenail fungus. Formula 3 is a blend of all natural oils which will not irritate the skin or build up on the nail and does not require removal. This product requires very little maintenance and it is easy to apply. It is odorless and does not stain. The patient applies the product to the affected nail and massages it into the nail plate. Apply Formula 3 twice daily; morning and evening. The natural oils in the product will prevent splitting and cracking of the nails. Studies have shown that this topical product is as affective as oral medication in eliminating nail fungus from the nail plate(s).
