ciclopirox for Onychomycosis, Toenail: I've had toenail fungus for 40 years and tried many medications. My toenails would turn black and fall off. One doctor suggested that letting them fall off was a viable solution. Wonder what they teach in medical school these days. The only thing that helped was itraconozol which is a hazard to the liver. A dermatologist prescribed ciclopirox. I used a dremel tool to grind the infected nail down thinner and applied the ciclopirox. In 3 weeks the black fungus festerd up which I ground off. This is the most effective treatment I've used. There is a 90% improvement in this time period. 0 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

ciclopirox for Onychomycosis, Toenail: I have been painting my toenail for 12 weeks and I have about 1 fourth of a new nail that is clear. I believe this will take some months in getting a good result but have tried so many other treatments that didn't work at all. I have hope. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?

ciclopirox for Onychomycosis, Toenail: Used this for over a year and did not have any improvements. Sticky polish and takes a long time to dry. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Loprox (ciclopirox) for Seborrheic Dermatitis: Loprox is excellent. I had excessive amounts of Seborrheic Dermititis. The solution cleared it up within a week. Yes, it does somewhat burn at first but in all reality is the best skin care on the market. I really do recommend that you speak to your doctor about Loprox. 5 user(s) found this comment helpful.

Loprox (ciclopirox) for Seborrheic Dermatitis: My mother let me use some of this for my head and I can say that it does work. Although being a shampoo you may accidently use more than you think you are. Took about 6 applications before my head was completely clear. Of course it's no cure - yes it does work very well. 14 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate
