Two Cases of Onychomycosis Treated with Electric Nail Grinder and Nail Lacquer
Abstract
True fungal infection of the nail plate is known as onychomycosis. Systemic therapy of onychomycosis is more likely to be effetive than topical treatment. However, the potential for adverse reactions and for interaction with the metabolism of other medication can preclude their use. Furthermore, some people do not want to take oral medicine for treatment of onychomycosis. Because of this, the prospect of effective topical therapy is a welcome alternative. To provide better delivery of drug to bed and nail plate, we trimmed with electric nail grinder (KHP 3000 Frees®, Germany), and then applied nail lacquer (Amorolfine HCl, Loceryl®, Galderma korea). The potential for synergism of electric nail grinder with topical antifungal agent is expected.
