Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nail bed and is difficult to t reat topically because penetration of the nail plate is difficult, and syste mic antifungal treatments are prone to side effects and drug interactions. T he present invention treats onychomycosis by applying an antifungal composit ion to the nail bed directly using a solid, semi-solid, or flowable carrier. The carrier can be in the form of a semi-solid into which the user digs and scrapes the nail, a solid carrier can be inserted directly under the nail i n contact with the nail bed, or a flowable composition can be injected in co ntact with the nail bed. |
