Individual Article: Updated Review of Topical Pharmaceuticals and Complementary and Alternative Medications for the Treatment of Onychomycosis in Both General and Special Populations in the United States.

Onychomycosis is a prevalent condition affecting the United States and global population. Treatment options are limited, with only 3 topical anti-fungal medications garnering approval in the US within the last 25 years: ciclopirox, tavaborole, and efinaconazole. The economic impact and quality of life burden due to onychomycosis are high. Here we provide an up-to-date review of all approved topical anti-fungal therapies for toenail onychomycosis. We discuss treatment efficacies, pharmacology, and use in special populations, as well as current evidence for complementary and alternative medicine.  J Drugs Dermatol. 2023;22:9(Suppl 1):s5-10.
