What is Toenail Fungus?

Toenail fungus, also known as onychomycosis, is a common nail infection caused by fungal organisms. It often starts as a small white or yellow spot under the tip of the toenail and can progress to discoloration, thickening, and even nail crumbling. If left untreated, toenail fungus can cause pain, discomfort, and may spread to other nails or surrounding skin. At Fallbrook Podiatry, Dr. Patish offers cutting-edge toenail fungus treatments to help restore healthy nails.

Symptoms of Toenail Fungus

Early symptoms of toenail fungus include:

  • Yellow, brown, or white nail discoloration
  • Thickened or brittle nails
  • Crumbling edges or distorted shape
  • Separation of the nail from the nail bed
  • Pain or foul odor

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, early treatment is essential to prevent the infection from spreading and causing further damage.

1. Summit Series Dual-Frequency Laser Therapy for Toenail Fungus

Our clinic uses the Summit Series Dual-Frequency Laser, a top-of-the-line Class IV system with 810nm and 980nm wavelengths. This advanced laser penetrates the nail bed to target and eliminate fungal cells, promoting healthier nail regrowth.

Why Choose Laser Therapy?

  • High Efficacy: Laser treatment has a high success rate for eliminating stubborn toenail fungus.
  • Non-Invasive & Pain-Free: The procedure is painless, requires no anesthesia, and involves zero downtime.
  • Safe for Diabetic Patients: The Summit laser is a safe option for patients with underlying health conditions.

How the Summit Laser Works:

  • The 810nm wavelength penetrates deep into the nail matrix, promoting blood flow and cellular repair.
  • The 980nm wavelength produces thermal energy to destroy fungal cells, reducing inflammation and stimulating healthy regrowth.
  • The combination of wavelengths ensures a thorough treatment, reaching both surface and deeper fungal infections.

2. Topical Antifungal Treatments

Introducing Clear Nail with Urea (CN-U): 

Advanced Treatment for Toenail Fungus at Fallbrook Podiatry


What is CN-U?

Dr. Patish and the team at Fallbrook Podiatry are excited to offer Clear Nail with Urea (CN-U)—an innovative and FDA-registered topical treatment for toenail fungus. CN-U is a potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, targeting common fungal infections and a wide range of bacteria. This advanced formulation is safe, with no measurable absorption or toxicity, making it a reliable option for long-term use under the care of Dr. Patish.

How Does CN-U Work?

CN-U’s effectiveness lies in its unique combination of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), tolnaftate and 40% Urea. This formula penetrates the nail, delivering the active antifungal ingredients directly to the nail bed, breaking down tough biofilms that resist conventional treatments. The result is a softer, healthier nail appearance and faster, more effective outcomes.

Why Choose CN-U at Fallbrook Podiatry?

Conventional antifungal treatments often fail because they only target the fungal elements. CN-U, on the other hand, is designed to break down stubborn biofilms—a combination of bacteria and fungi that hinder treatment success. Dr. Patish incorporates CN-U into a comprehensive treatment plan to address the root causes of nail discoloration, thickness, and abnormal shape.

CN-U as Part of a Customized Treatment Plan

For the best results, Dr. Patish recommends using CN-U alongside other antifungal therapies to improve cure rates and speed up recovery. He also advises continued use of CN-U for maintenance to prevent recurrence. At Fallbrook Podiatry, we emphasize patient compliance, ensuring that factors like proper footwear, nail hygiene, and follow-up care are integrated into your treatment plan for long-lasting results.

Key Benefits of CN-U:
  • FDA Registered and contains FDA Approved ingredients
  • Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial: Effective against molds, yeast, fungi, and bacteria
  • Enhanced Nail Penetration: Delivers medication deep into the nail bed
  • Biofilm Breakdown: Targets biofilms that protect fungal colonies
  • Safe for Long-Term Use: No systemic absorption or toxicity, making it ideal for ongoing care

3. Oral Antifungal Medications

Oral medications are used for more severe infections and work from within the body to combat fungal cells.

Common Oral Options Include:

  • Terbinafine (Lamisil): Often the first line of treatment due to its effectiveness.
  • Itraconazole (Sporanox): Suitable for patients who cannot tolerate other medications.

Oral treatments may require regular liver function monitoring due to potential side effects.

4. Combination Therapy

For difficult cases, Dr. Patish may recommend combination therapy, using laser treatment along with topical and oral medications for comprehensive care.
