ABSTRACT
Onychomycosis is one of the most common diseases of the nails caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, and non-dermatophytic molds. Among the onychomycosis, tinea unguium occurred by dermatophytes such as Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Epidermophyton floccosum. Treatment options of onychomycosis include oral and topical antifungal agents, surgery or a combination therapy of theses modalities. The complete remission of onychomycosis requires long-term treatment with systemic and topical antifungal agents and recurrences and re-infections are common. In this review, we provide insights on the topical antifungal agents in onychomycosis and introduce new topical antifungal agents.
