For Onychomycosis, Fingernail "I've been fighting this for a year with little improvement. I was not following directions correctly. I called a dermatologist about it. She told me to wash my hands every day, apply the gel every day for a week, clean it off with alcohol, then thin the nails with a file or sandpaper, then soak them in half water and half cider vinegar for 20-30 minutes, wash your hands again to get rid of the smell, and start over again. It's finally working. You have to be diligent about it."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have been using 'Penlac' since May 2011 and have found that my toenail has been feeling and looking a lot healthier since the treatment. I was very surprised at how fast I saw a difference. It was, however, very expensive. I am very satisfied with the results and well worth the price of a nice nail."
