3. "Spike" of onychomycosis extending to eponychium of the target nail

4. Presence of dermatophytoma (defined as demarcated and localised thick masses of fungal hyphae and necrotic keratin between the nail plate and nail bed) on the target nail

5. Other conditions than DSO known to cause abnormal nail appearance

6. Topical antifungal treatment of the nails within 1 month before screening

7. Systemic use of antifungal treatment within 3 months before screening

8. History or signs of peripheral circulatory insufficiency and/or diabetic neuropathy

9. Immunosuppression

10. Participation in another clinical trial with an investigational drug or device during the previous 4 weeks before screening

11. Known allergy to any of the tested treatment products
