Antifungal Creams
Topical Antifungal Creams and Ointments
These antifungal creams would be the treatment of choice if they were highly effective, but that’s the problem. You need to use these over the counter (otc) remedies for literally years. They are generally completely side effect free, and don’t cost much money. They’re also a good option to prevent reinfection after another, more successful treatment method.
Each of the antifungal creams and products below are best suited for a particular purpose. We will help you select the appropriate product for your set of conditions. This is the reason drugstore products often fail. There are very distinct differences between the products that will help lead to succuss or failure. Helping you choose the correct one saves you from wasting both your money and your time and gives you the results you want!
How much does the average laser treatment cost?
For starters, it’s extremely unlikely that your health insurance will pay for laser toenail fungus treatments. The condition is considered cosmetic as opposed to medical. Given the cost of the lasers themselves, it isn’t at all surprising that these treatments can be costly. It’s going to be an out of pocket expense.
How much, then, does treatment cost? It varies from state to state and geographic area to area, yet prices of $1000 are not uncommon. Bear in mind that this will usually cover the series of treatments that will be needed to resolve your situation–a single treatment is never sufficient. Usually about 3 to 5 are needed to achieve peak results.
At Beaver Valley Foot Clinic we are, on average, about half the price of other places. Come in to have your toenails evaluated for treatment options and costs.
Are there side effects of treating fungal nails with medical grade lasers?
Most facilities that perform this type of procedure claim that there aren’t any side effects whatsoever. Clinical data supports this. Laser nail treatments do have many vocal proponents, podiatrists and dermatologists among them. In their minds, good short to mid term results speak for themselves, and they believe that time and continued research will settle the question for good. At our toenail laser treatment center near you, we have been using lasers since 2007, almost 20 years and have a long history of helping patients get rid of toenail fungus with lasers.
Oral Antifungal Medications vs Antifungal Creams
Oral medications are a proven treatment, and have a reasonably high rate of success (about 70%). This class of medication is known for its side effects, however, which include nausea, diarrhea, and skin rashes. Worse yet, these antifungals are very tough on the liver, and in some cases can cause severe damage. This type of treatment isn’t for those with pre-existing liver issues, and will require routine lab work to look at liver function throughout treatment for everyone else. In terms of price, they’re much cheaper than other options, and are usually covered by insurance. Antifungal Creams don’t have those complications. If you are over 65 years old, or enjoy alcohol socially, we would not recommend oral medication to treat nail fungus. If you take oral medications for other medical problems, it’s not a good idea to take oral antifungals either.

Can Antifungal Creams Be Used on Children or Infants, And If So, Are There Any Precautions?
Yes, you can use antifungal creams on children and infants, but there are some precautions, here are some of them:
- Consult a Pediatrician:
Always consider consulting a pediatrician before using antifungal creams on your age, as they can vary depending on the age and infection.
- Choose the right products:
Not every antifungal cream you see is suitable for everyone, there are specified creams for kids, so make sure you talk to your doctor before using a cream you don’t know about.
- Avoid sensitive areas:
Areas such as face, near the eyes and ears should be handled carefully.
- Prevent Ingestion:
Keep the antifungal cream out of children’s reach to prevent accidental ingestion, high places such as shelfs are some ideal places.
- Keep the area clean:
Make sure the infected area is clean and dry before you apply any sort of ointment. This will allow it to heal much faster and will reduce the further risk of infection.
- Observe the improvement:
Check for improvements, if there are none or it seems like the infection is getting worse instead, it will be a great idea to visit a podiatrist, right away.
What should you do if an antifungal cream causes irritation or an allergic reaction?
This is a dangerous situation, if this happens with you then consider following some of these tips:
- Avoid using the cream:
If the cream harm you instead of healing, there’s no point of applying it.
- Look for reactions:
Look for reactions such as excessive irritation, allergic reactions, redness or swelling of lips, such reactions can be a case of emergencies.
- Visit a doctor right away:
Inform your doctor about your allergies, they will provide you with the right treatment.
