What is Fungi-Nail Anti-Fungal Pen?
Fungi-Nail Anti-fungal Pen is a treatment for fungus on the skin around your nails. It can help clear toe fungus and prevent a fungal nail infection developing. It also contains aloe vera and tea tree oil, which can improve and restore the condition of your skin.
It comes as a pen that contains medication you apply directly to your nail cuticles and the skin surrounding your nail, usually twice a day. The active ingredient in the pen, tolnaftate, is an antifungal agent that interferes with fungi growth. By disturbing its production, fungal cells eventually die and your body can fight the infection.
Nail fungus can occur for a number of reasons — infections can develop after an injury to your nail, through poor foot hygiene, or as a result of other health conditions such as diabetes. Nails can also become infected when other fungal infections, such as athlete’s foot, spread from your skin to the nails. Fungi-Nail can help keep your skin fungus-free, preventing nail fungus from developing while also treating athlete’s foot.
How does Fungi-Nail Anti-Fungal Pen work?
Fungi-Nail works by clearing fungal infections on the skin that surrounds your nails. Fungal infections typically affect the feet, and live in the skin’s outermost layer, the epidermis.[1] A common type of fungal infection is athlete’s foot, which usually starts between your toes and presents as sore, itchy white patches. Sometimes it causes the skin on your feet to crack and bleed.
Athlete’s foot and nail fungus are often caused by the same group of fungi, known as dermatophytes. Dermatophytes target keratin, a protein found in hair, skin and nails. They thrive in warm, moist areas, and can spread from person-to-person through physical contact and by sharing items like towels and bedding.
Fungi-Nail can help clear fungus from your skin before it has a chance to reach your nails. Along with its antifungal qualities, it also contains tea tree oil and aloe, which can hydrate your skin and reduce inflammation.
What doses of Fungi-Nail Anti-Fungal Pen are there?
Fungi-Nail comes as a single-dose pen, containing .1 Fl Oz (3ml) of liquid.
You usually use the pens twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening. Your physician will advise you to use Fungi-Nail differently if they think you need to use it more or less often.
The pens can clear and prevent toe fungus, but they’re not intended to be used directly on your nail. If you think you have nail fungus, let us know about it. A doctor might advise you to continue using Fungi-Nail on your skin while recommending a treatment that specifically targets nail fungus.
