A new concept in the topical treatment of onychomycosis with cyanoacrylate, undecylenic acid, and hydroquinone.

The authors report a pilot study of a new approach for the topical treatment of onychomycosis using physiologic principles of fungal growth and serial debridement. In total, 154 patients were studied for 1 year with mild, moderate, and severe nail disease. Negative mycologic cultures in these 3 groups were 100%, 65%, and 35%, respectively. All patients reported subjective improvement in the first 3 months.
