I worked for me! At first I was taking ...

I worked for me! At first I was taking two shots a week and after all cleared up back to 1 shot a week. Now after just a year I see some signs of it coming back on one nail. I am back to the derm in few days to see if I can back to two shots a week until cleared up. Good luck!!!!
