“Routine pedicures can help prevent problems such as ingrown toenails and hangnails that can rip off and cause pain,” says Dana Canuso, M.D., podiatric surgeon and founder of Dr. Canuso Skincare for Feet.

Is your anti-fungal Fungicidal or Fungistatic?

And why does that even matter?

An article published in the American Journal of Dermatology notes that “Pharmacologic agents applied to the surface of the skin in the form of creams, lotions, or sprays, readily penetrate into the stratum corneum to kill the fungi (fungicidal agents), or at least render them unable to grow or divide (fungistatic agents). Azole drugs such as clotrimazole are fungistatic, limiting fungal growth but depending on epidermal turnover to shed the still-living fungus from the skin surface. Allylamines and benzylamines such as terbinafine, naftifine, and butenafine are fungicidal, actually killing the fungal organisms. Fungicidal drugs are often preferred over fungistatic drugs for treatment of dermatophytic fungal infections”. 1
