I have a mild fungus case and tried the laser treatment with no success. I’m going back to trying penlac with a little more patience.

My three smallest nails on my right foot had the fungus all the way to the root. I started by removing the dead detached nail with a dremel and small sander bit on it. I’m pretty handy with tools so it wasn’t a problem though areas I was too vigorous I did bleed a little. After a day I started with penlac, very generous each night across the nail bed and extended about 1/8″ outside the nail area. After about 4 months and half way through the second bottle Penlac, I gave up. To my surprise the smallest toe grew a normal nail, pink and healthy from tip to root. The next toe in from the smallest had no change, still the fungus, the next toe seems to be cured but not grown out all the way yet. I’m getting some more penlac to try again but I really want to get the laser treatment (Noveon) when it meets FDA approval.

I had an extremely severe infection - much worse than in any of the pictures.
I took a few months and alot of Penlac, but I started noticing some improvement.
After about 3 years of obsessively using Penlac, along with a cicloporox cream,
my nails appeared normal.

It’s not a cure. The infection returned after I stopped using it. One side effect
I noticed was that it made my nails turn black - the cure was almost worse than
the disease!

I was trying for at least a year to remove my own infected nails by filing them every night, so when I started using Ciclopirox (Penlac), my nails were already filed very thin. This lacquer appears to soak down into the infected nail, with reapplications nightly for a week, then remove with alcohol, and remove as much of the nail as possible. I use the expensive sharp Made-in-Germany two-handled nail clippers and remove the nail by grabbing and pulling a layer off, being careful not to make it bleed. So far, I am very pleased and I am only on my second bottle, but again, I had already removed most of my nail before I started. I believe this is going to cure my condition, and it was not merely a “mild” case, but was very unsightly. Now my nails are beginning to look great. My prescription is for 2 refills, and I believe the 3rd bottle will be sufficient to completely cure my case.

After several months–Ciclopirox Penlac Nail Lacquer did not work for me. It was also very inconvenient to use, and sometimes nail felt uncomfortable after applying and noticed poor circulation in my feet and hands. Actually, it made some nails worse!
