This bulletin focuses on topical antifungal nail treatment, i.e. amorolfine 5% nail lacquer (Loceryl®, Curanail®, Omicur®), tioconazole 28% cutaneous solution (Trosyl®) and salicylic acid, tannic acid and boric acid paint (Phytex®) which are low priority treatments. Self-care may be appropriate for the majority of asymptomatic patients with fungal infection of the nails. If treatment is deemed necessary, a systemic antifungal is more effective than topical therapy.
