WHAT IS A FUNGAL NAIL INFECTION?

Nail fungus, also known as onychomycosis (pronounced on-e-co-my-co-sis), is a fungal infection of the toenails or fingernails. Nails may appear yellow, cracked or crumbling. Infected nails may even appear to lift from the nail bed.

Negative Impact On Life
You may be reluctant to wear open toed shoes. You may also experience some discomfort when walking or standing. Left untreated, a fungal nail infection will not go away and may spread to other nails. You may even infect the nails of others in your household. Loceryl® is a proven way to treat a fungal nail infection¹. Loceryl® is a transparent nail lacquer that is applied to the affected nail once a week². After applying to the nail, Loceryl® penetrates the nail plate to get to the nail bed where the infection lives³. Once there, Loceryl® kills the fungus that causes the rot. ⁴The new nail can then grow back, healthy and strong.
