How to treat Onychomycosis? |
Hi my mom is having this disease of the nail Onychomycosis, her finger name is flaking and her skin surrounding her nail is also flaking and. is there any advice on what to apply? thanks Onychomycosis is the medical term for fungal nail infection.

However, for the appearance of the skin and nail a topical antifungal can be used |
