Onychomycosis Treatment Prescribed at Only Twenty Percent of Visits: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey 2007 to 2016
DISCUSSION: Our study showed that there is a low treatment rate for onychomycosis, with treatment prescribed at only 20% of visits. Untreated onychomycosis might result in secondary infection, pain, and negative QoL impact.1 Although dermatologists are specialists in nail disease management, they saw only about 25% of onychomycosis visits. Future efforts should be directed towards promoting onychomycosis therapy, and educating both patients and referring physicians that dermatologists are primary resources for nail disorder treatment.J Drugs Dermatol. 2023;22(10):1040-1045 doi:10.36849/JDD.6770.PMID:37801531 | DOI:10.36849...

Comparing the Efficacy for Pulse Versus Continuous Dose Terbinafine Therapy in Patients With Onychomycosis
J Drugs Dermatol. 2023 Oct 1;22(10):1017-1020. doi: 10.36849/JDD.7323.ABSTRACTRecently, treatment outcomes in patients with toenail onychomycosis have improved considerably due to more effective oral antifungal medications such as terbinafine and itraconazole. These medications can either be used continuously for several weeks at a lower dose or intermittently (pulsed) at a higher dose. Previous literature comparing pulse and continuous therapy has generated mixed results. Our study aims to compare the efficacy, in terms of clinical cure rate, of continuous vs pulse dose terbinafine regimens for toenail onychomyc...
