Frequently asked questions

What is Scholl Fungal Nail Treatment used for?

It is used to treat mild fungal nail infection (onychomycosis) on the fingernails or toenails. It helps clear the infection and prevent it spreading or coming back.

How long does the treatment take?

There is a 4-week active treatment phase, then a protection phase of up to 9 months, or until the discolouration grows out. Because nails grow slowly, full clearing takes time as the healthy nail replaces the affected part.

How do I use the files in the kit?

During the treatment phase, file the surface of the infected nail once a week and then discard that file. Do not reuse a file, as this helps avoid spreading the infection.

Can people with diabetes use Scholl Fungal Nail Treatment?

If you have diabetes, seek advice before use, as your foot condition may need treatment from a healthcare professional. The same applies if you have damaged skin or other foot conditions.

What if the nail does not improve?

If the infection does not improve, spreads, or the nail becomes painful, speak to your pharmacist or GP. Severe or extensive fungal nail infections may need a different treatment.

Safety and storage

For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes; stop using if irritation occurs.
Do not use on damaged skin or with other foot conditions. Do not reuse a file.
If you have diabetes, seek advice before use, as your feet may need professional care.
Replace the cap after use, keep out of the reach of children, and do not use after the expiry date.
