    Toenail fungus is an infective reservoir.A podiatrist in Arizona Dr.Gilbert Shapiro,has a very good thought process on it.He claims that these chronic fungal nails should just be avulsed.That does make a lot of sense,if one thinks about it.The topicals usually either do not work or work very slowly and orals carry their own risks.By the way,what say you about pulse dosing of terbenafine?
