Abstract

Onychomyosis is a difficult-to-treat fungal infection of the nails that frequently results in thickness and discolouration of the afflicted nail plate. Dermatophytes are the main cause of this illness. While oral medicines frequently result in systemic side effects and drug interactions, inadequate nail penetration has hindered the development of effective topical remedies. An important development in dermatology is the use of nail lacquer based on nano formulations to administer antifungals, including amorolfine, both transungally and subungally. It has been shown that amorofline can pierce human nails. A dense network of cross-linked keratin proteins makes up the nail plate, giving it toughness and creating an impenetrable barrier penetrate. Chemical or mechanical methods can be used to get over this obstacle. Chronic onychomyosis has a high rate of recurrence. rates; in order to reduce recurrence, patients should be advised on a suitable course of treatment. Infected patients should also make sure that their shoes and socks are properly sanitized and seek medical attention as soon as possible. The urgent need for transungal delivery systems of nanoparticle-based nail lacquers, which provide potential alternatives for the treatment of a range of moderate to severe nail disorders, is the main topic of this review.
