Individuals with onychomycosis (gray nail) may apply antifungal topical agents—such as itraconazole or amorolfine—under medical supervision to alleviate symptoms. These antifungal medications exhibit strong penetration capacity, enabling them to traverse the nail plate and eradicate deep-seated fungi, thereby effectively relieving onychomycosis. In cases of severe infection, oral antifungal therapy—using agents such as terbinafine or itraconazole—may also be prescribed.
