Abstract

Onychomycosis is treated by grinding the infected portion of a nail down to a level where the nail is not infected and applying a coating of a cyanoacrylate ester to the ground portion which cures to a hard layer. The hard layer can be successively ground and coated with successive layers of cycanoacrylate.
