How Long Does Treatment Last
How long will it take to treat? This all depends on the method of treatment and the frequency or possiblity of re-infection:
This depends on the method of treatment, and due to slow nail growth, it can take a while to see any results. A complete resolution of the infection can take over a year, as this is often how long it takes for a new nail to completely re-grow.
With oral medication, once it has been absorbed into the nail after the initial treatment (usually over 3-4 months) the nail is then able to grow, replacing the disfigured nail.
Some topical treatments such as Ciclopirox are applied to the nail and surrounding skin for over 12 months.
