Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for a natural antifungal remedy to work?
Most people notice improvement within 1–2 weeks of consistent use, though nail fungus can take longer since nails grow slowly. Apply the product as directed and keep the area clean and dry for the best results.
Can I use more than one of Dr. Cole's formulas at the same time?
Yes. Each formula is designed for a specific area and type of fungal issue, so it's common to use, for example, the Athlete's Foot Balm and the Nail Fungus Formula together if you're dealing with both.
Are these remedies safe for sensitive skin?
Dr. Cole's formulas use organic, wildcrafted ingredients like Tea Tree Oil, Calendula, and Neem Oil, which are generally gentle on skin. As with any topical product, do a small patch test first if you have particularly sensitive skin.
