I'm guessing that if the UV light is powerful enough it can penetrate through the nail to the nail bed. If the toenail UV exposure is comparable to the amount of UV a person gets from being in the sun, then imo it's a matched risk. People get their face blasted by UV from the sun but toes are often covered by shoes. imo skin cancer on the face is more probable than skin cancer on the nail bed.

Got a new one growing out now.

If it were or could, you'd expect to see people sunburned under their toenails wouldn't you? > If the toenail UV exposure is comparable to the amount of UV a person > gets from being in the sun, then imo it's a matched risk. > People get their face blasted by UV from the sun but toes are often > covered by shoes. > imo skin cancer on the face is more probable than skin cancer on the > nail bed. Nail fungus is hard to kill. I read today that the drugs take 3-6 months, and only have a 50% success rate. -- Cheers, James Arthur
