Laser, urea or fluconazole for fungal nail infection
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares a fractional CO₂ laser, 40% urea, or a fluconazole microemulsion applied to the nail to see which works best for treating fungal nail infections (onychomycosis). It may help you if you have a confirmed fungal nail infection and haven't used certain antifungal treatments recently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
