Abstract

Onychomycosis present in a nail is treated by debridement such as grinding a portion of the nail, which includes an infected portion and thereafter applying a composition containing alkyl cyanoacrylate to the debrided surface which cures to a hard layer. The hard layer can be successively ground and coated with successive layers of alkyl cycanoacrylate.
