Hi. Greetings. This toe nail fungus requires long term treatment including oral medication and lacquer application. May take three to six months for "cure" with proper treatment and up to a year for the nail to become normal. If it's single toe nail and if is deformed and trouble some, avulsion of the nail is also an option if it doesn't resolve with medications. See a qualified dermatologist near you. Hope this helps. Warm regards. Dr Govind S Mittal.
