title: Traditional approaches to treatment of onychomycosis.
abstract: The authors discuss the traditional approaches to treatment of onychomycosis in podiatric medicine: debridement, traditional oral agents, and topical medication. Although the newer systemic antifungal agents have proven to be both safe and effective, many podiatric physicians believe that for many patients, it is better to treat in a conservative manner.
