Q&A: treatment of DOS (distal subungual onychomycosis)?

Question by beann: treatment of DOS (distal subungual onychomycosis)?
i have a mild case of DOS, and im questioning if there are any remedies for it. I have gone to the doctor, and he didnt know what it was, so i discovered it myself. anyways, i might not go to the doctor for awhile, so is there any way i can treat this with over the counter medications? or really should i just wait to go to the doctor? i really dont want to wait since i dont want it to get worse, but can anybody aid??
THANKS! :)

No over the counter meds to treat DOS.

Maybe attempt a new doc or let your present one know you want to be tested for DOS (Psoriasis, lichen planus, contact dermatitis, trauma, nail bed tumor and yellow nail syndrome may be mistakenly diagnosed as onychomycosis)
