Product Description
Restores the appearance of healthy nails. Sanitizes and dehydrates eliminating the environment necessary for the growth of mold and bacteria. Yellow, brown or green discoloration at the nail tips and spreading down towards the cuticle are a hallmark of this condition. Thymol in alcohol is a time honored formulation used by dermatologist to treat these types of nail infections. Amoresse Thymol is not used to treat true nail fungus. Treatment is successful when the changing nail color no longer continues to extend toward the cuticle. Old infected nail must grow out and this may take 6-12 months. Continue treatment with Thymol throughout this time. Apply one to two droplets twice a day under nail plate. Minimize water contact with nails. Discontinue use of artificial nail tips if wearing them. Signs of inflammation, pain, lumpiness, black color change, or pus coming from the cuticles are all reasons to see your physician. |

Nail fungus medication by Isella (Puerto Rico)  5 Stars
April 19, 2009
This product so far seems to be working well to get rid of a nail fungus. Seems to be a great alternative to the more aggressive medications that can have serious effects on the liver.

Horrible Stinch! by Dallasite (Dallas, TX)  3 Stars
January 23, 2009
Only used one application... but here's why... Amoresse Thymol strongly smells like a cross between *a skunk and rubber tires*. My guess is that the smell is from the chemical PCMX (Chloroxylenol). Even after washing the product off, you can still smell it. Maybe it works, but the smell will most likely be too strong for you if using on a fingernail, as I am. I can't tolerate this smell on a daily basis.
After googling PCMX, I do not like having contact with it either. If you do use this, be sure to not get this product anywhere near your eyes, as PCMX is a category 1 *eye irritant,* so be careful if using on fingernails that could come in contact with your eyes. Also, PCMX may possibly cause liver damage.
Sorry to rain on everyone's parade here but didn't want others to be disappointed, as I am. There "are" other alternatives out there, but be aware that a *yeast/bacteria* nail infection, like onycholysis, is different from a *fungus* nail infection, like onychomycosis. Both require different treatments. If you can tolerate it, this product should work well for onycholysis, as it's a 4% thymol solution mixed with alcohol, which is most often recommended for onycholysis.
Good luck everyone :)

Ineffective product and terrible customer service by James  1 Stars
October 01, 2008
I purchased this product with great hope that it would be effective for my nail fungus; I ordered two bottles, however, when the product arrived one of the bottle's cap was loose and 1/2 of the contents had leaked all over the packaging! I contacted Dermadoctor's customer service on three separate occasions, and they NEVER got back to me! So I used the other bottle that I ordered without any positive results. I saw no change in my nail fungus (I did see progress utilizing Vics previously), and because of their non-existent customer service I was really discouraged. I finally contacted Amazon, and they graciously refunded my purchase amount. Thank you Amazon, no thanks to Dermadoctor!

Thymol, treatment for toenail fungus by Manuel Castrejana  4 Stars
July 21, 2008
I have been using this product for almost a month. Before using thymol I had tried over-the-counter products and some home remedies. Before using thymol I had the best results treating toenail fungus by alternating use of vinegar and peroxide. When I used thymol alone the results were not as good as the combination of peroxide and vinegar. But when I added thytmol treatment to the regiment, thymol,vinegar, and peroxide alternating over a period of a week, the results have been the best so far.
After a week of vinegar, peroxide, and thymol most of the infected nail has crumble off. Much of the fungus residing below the nail has turned to dead skin and has been scraped out.
It looks like I will need to keep this up until the dead nail is gone and the new nail has replaced the old nail, six months to a year.
If I do not treat the nail with anything it appears that the fungus get a toe hole, pun intended, again.
