Schollmed Fungal Nail Treatment

Follow these steps carefully for each affected nail. The treatment should be applied once a week to each infected nail.

Step 1: File the nail

Using a new nail file, gently file down the infected areas of the nail, including the surface, as much as possible.

Take care to protect any healthy nails while filing to help prevent the infection from spreading.

Important: Never use a nail file that has been used on an infected nail on a healthy nail. Do not allow anyone else to use the files from your treatment kit.

Step 2: Clean the nail

Use one of the swabs provided, or nail varnish remover, to thoroughly clean the nail surface.

Keep the swab after cleaning, as you will need it later to clean the applicator.

If more than one nail is affected, repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each nail.

Step 3: Apply the lacquer

Dip a reusable applicator into the bottle of nail lacquer. Do not wipe the applicator against the edge of the bottle before applying the lacquer.

Apply an even layer over the entire surface of the affected nail. Repeat for each infected nail.

Allow the treated nails to dry for approximately 3 minutes. Once dry, the lacquer is resistant to soap and water, so you can wash your hands or feet normally.

If you wish to use cosmetic nail varnish, wait at least 10 minutes after applying the medicated lacquer.

Step 4: Clean the applicator

The applicators supplied are reusable, but they must be cleaned thoroughly after every treatment to help prevent the infection from spreading.

Use the same swab that you used to clean the nail. Take care not to touch freshly treated nails with the swab.

Close the nail lacquer bottle tightly after use.

Important: Dispose of used swabs carefully, as they are highly flammable once they have been exposed to the product.

• Continue using the nail lacquer until the infection has cleared and healthy nail has grown back. This can take time because the affected nail needs to grow out.

• Fingernails: This usually takes around 6 months.

• Toenails: This usually takes around 9–12 months.

• You should see healthy nail gradually growing as the infected nail grows out. If the nail is still infected after this period, consult your doctor.

• It is important to continue treatment every week as directed. Stopping treatment too early may mean the infection is not fully treated and could reduce the effectiveness of the lacquer.
