Can laser toenail treatment be done on Diabetics or those with liver disease?

Treatment of Onychomycosis (nail fungus), especially toenails, is more challenging in diabetic patients due to several factors (i.e. diabetics tend to be more prone to infection).  A combination therapy for Onychomycosis using laser light and oral medication (Lamisil) is highly suggested.  Dr. Ghohestani, a San Antonio Dermatologist, recommends laser for patients with diabetes or liver disease  who are on some meds that may interact with Lamisil. Lamisil may have an adverse effect in the liver, so testing the liver is recommended during the treatment. However, with laser treatment, no blood test is necessary. Our Dermatologists can provide some treatment options that may best work for you in order to achieve the results you desire.
