Dermatologists see two foot and one hand disease regularly. Why this affects both feet and often toe nails and only one hand is a mystery.
This man had been treated with various creams for "hand dermatitis" without relief. Knowing of the entity "Two Hand and One Foot Disease" will enable you to quickly make the right diagnosis. The question of why this occurs is still unanswered.
I prescribed ultramicrosized griseofulvin (Gris-Peg) 375 mg per day. We'll see how it works. I prefer griseofulvin to terbinafine (Lamisil) because I do not trust Novartis (the company that makes the latter). They marked Lamisil too aggressively.

A few questions: How long do you typically treat, especially if you aim to get the toenails as well? What is microsize and ultramicrosize all about...besides the size?
I also noticed that Lamisil #30=$392, Griseofulvin #90= $148.
