For Onychomycosis, Toenail "My left big toenail has a fungal infection that affects about 25% of the toenail and has been present for about 4 years. I took 3 months of oral Lamisil, and the new nail has been growing back perfectly clear. It has grown out about 50%. I started using Jublia after I stopped the oral Lamisil on the affected part of the nail that hadn't grown out yet. I didn't have any problems until after about 3 months of daily use. About a month ago, I started developing small, painful, itching, burning blisters around the skin of the big toenail. I stopped using Jublia, and it took about 3 weeks to clear up. I wasn't sure what caused this but decided to try Jublia again on the toenail because I'm paranoid the remaining fungus will spread to my new unaffected nail. Within 48 hours, the small itching blisters returned, so I'm sure it is the most likely cause since I haven't applied anything else to the toenail."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I struggled with a fungus in my big toenail for over 10 years. I tried everything I could find in the drugstore. I went to a dermatologist who prescribed an internal medicine that I was on two times for 4 months each time that did not cure the fungus. I paid a podiatrist a lot of money to perform laser treatments on the toenail, which were painful and did not work. I was giving up hope until I saw the advertisement for Jublia on TV. I asked my dermatologist to prescribe it, and it totally cured the fungus in the nail! It took about 9 months for the nail to completely grow out fungus-free, but it was worth it! My nail is completely healthy now and has been for about 6 months. I am so thankful for this medication!!!!!"

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Used Jublia for about 4 months, and all I can say is amazing, amazing, amazing. I've had toe fungus for 12 years, and nothing ever worked. I had it on every single toe, and they were all severe, painful, and inflamed all the time. Some of the nails took a little longer than others, but 100% success! This product clearly doesn't work for everyone, but anything is better than liver-killing meds. If you have the means to try it, TRY IT. It is an expensive product, but there's a 50/50 chance it could work!"

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I had a fingernail infection called onycholysis, which is the separation of the fingernail and the nail bed, and chemical burns due to a nail salon using unsterile equipment. I went to my dermatologist, and she took a biopsy of my nails the same day she prescribed Jublia. She didn't even know I had a fungal infection! This medicine is for toenail fungal infections like onychomycosis ONLY!!! Not only did I have adverse reactions to this medicine, but I had to pay $3,200 for 3 bottles. I had burning, itching, swelling, blisters, and pain from using Jublia. It is NOT MEANT FOR FINGERS, and I contacted the manufacturer, who said it is NOT FDA APPROVED FOR FINGERS either. She is erroneously prescribing this topical solution to her patients and making their fingernail infections worse! I am going to file a complaint. I want my money back and compensation for my pain and suffering for this mistake that my doctor made!"

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "This so-called medicine put me in the hospital for 8 days. I have one disfigured big toe, and the other big toe causes me pain regularly. I talked to the manufacturer, they said that’s a normal side effect."
