Do fungal nail patches work?
The honest answer depends on what you are asking them to do.

As a daily care routine: yes
They give a clean, hygienic, repeatable overnight step that people stick with — and consistency is the single biggest factor in any nail routine.
As a cure for infection: no
Cosmetic patches are not licensed antifungal medicines. Established or painful infections need pharmacy or GP input.
How to judge progress
Photograph the nail on day one in the same light. Compare monthly at the cuticle end, never at the tip.
When to change approach
If there is no clear new growth at the base after three to four months, see a pharmacist or podiatrist.
Frequently asked
How soon should I see something?
Weeks to months, and only at the base of the nail. The tip stays as it is until it grows off.
Why do reviews vary so much?
Usually consistency and expectations. People comparing at the tip after two weeks will always be disappointed.
