The Successful Treatment of Trichophyton Rubrum Nail Bed (Distal Subungual) Onychomycosis with Intermittent Pulse-Dosed Terbinafine, 2004) on the effect of daily terbinafine to treat Trichophyton Rubrum revealed that it is an effective treatment for the DSO when pulse-dosed for 7 days every 3 months but not every 4 months. Another study (Cardoso, G.N., et al, Investigation of the antifungal potential of linalool against clinical isolates of fluconazole resistant Trichophyton rubrum, 2017) on the activity of linalool and ketonazole with different concentrations on radial mycelia growth conidia production and conidia germination using a hemacytometer, during the 7 days of treatment, linalool caused leakage of intracellular material. In conclusion, forming of abnormal, short, wide and crooked hyphae indicating that it was antifungal and has the ability to be an effective dermatophysis agent. An investigation (Chen, H.M., et al, Anti-Fungal Activity of Crude Extracts and Essential Oil Of Moringa Oleifera Lam, 2007) stated that on both crude leaf extract and sub fractions had little effect on dermatitis considering both seed extracts and essential oil have antifungal properties on specific fungi species. The research also discovered that when the fungal cells are being treated with 70% ethanol raw extract of Malunggay (Moringa oleifer) seed for 24 hours, it breaks the cytoplasmic membrane and severely damage
