onychomycosis, toenail
"After a much needed pedicure, I noticed my big toe was starting to look sort of discolored/grayish at the cuticle. A few months passed and it became worse. The toenail thickened and became flaky. I would sometimes experience excruciating pain and a throbbing sensation in my toe along with a reddened outer area. My physician prescribed Terbinafine after an initial liver function test. This test was repeated 1 month after treatment, three months after that, and since my results have been fine, he has ordered no more repeats. I am about to start my 5th month (out of 6) and am already seeing great results. It's a slow process (he said it could take a year) but my new nail is coming in great!"
