Onychomycosis is a chronic nail fungal infection resulting in nail damage and a decreased quality of life. Chemical avulsion of the nail with urea and bifonazole -removes fungally infected debris, increasing antifungal treatment efficacy and penetration. Previous clinical ob-servations describe patients who applied their urea and -bifonazole ointment less frequently, achieving earlier nail removal. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between duration of urea and bifonazole application and time to nail avulsion.
