Penlac Nail Lacquer Reviews

For Onychomycosis, Fingernail "Been using the cream form ciclopirox for two weeks. My nails are less painful and I have noticed softer skin in the nail because I have keratosis between nail and nail bed. Hopefully in six months my nails will be healthy again."


For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I use Penlac for two years, it did not cure my toe nail fungal, it did not get any better. I change to use another drug Jublia, the effect is much better. I have used the Jublia for 6 month. I can see my toe nail fungal is improved, my toe nail is not as thick as before, the area of fungal is much less now."


For Onychomycosis, Fingernail "Worked quickly and well. I learned by trial that trimming/filing away dead pieces of nail once a week when removing is key for it to work."


For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I used this for 2 years and it controlled my fungus but did not get rid of it."
