has anyone had a toenail look worse while on treatment before it gets better?

Archive date 11 archived replies

has anyone had a toenail look worse while on treatment before it gets better? I am currently on Jublia. I feel like the yellow portion has started to go deeper into my nail, even though I have been on it for 3 months. I know I need to do at least a year. Just wondered if this is normal or if it is not working?

I filed mine off with a power nail file. I haven’t seen any evidence of fungus since. I’m on month four of jublia

Have it pulled off. That’s what did.

Jublia didn't work for me. It's difficult to wait long enough for it to absorb. I found better success with econazole nitrate 1% lotion (cheap prescription). That combined with oral terbinafine finally got rid of mine. It was the easiest off all the things I tried too.

I think the starting point has to be to remove the impacted nail I saw what u r seeing before I started to use a power nail file now it is entirely different story In my case tea tree oil is doing great things. Ie remove the damaged nail which shields the bugs

I was on Julia years ago it didn't work, but I also was not consistent. Now in order to get Julia it would be over $700 so I'm doing the prescription nail polish that turns my nail yellow. Hopefully it works

The remedies that worked, I could tell pretty quickly. I think if it's getting worse instead of better after 3 months, it's not working.
