lamisil (you take it for 3 months) and it takes about 2 more months so that you can totally see the difference. its very expensive though. you can get it cheaper at mexico.

A homeopathic remedy is Vick's Vapo-Rub, applied directly to the affected nail several times a day. It takes about three months to completely kill the fungus.

nail fungus typically takes around 6 to 8 months for the nail to grow in completely healthy. You could use the perscription lamasil or you could use tea tree oil, one drop on the infected nail(s) twice a day for 6-8 months...

It would depend on what type of fungus we're talking about. It could be something simple that could be sucessfully treated with regular topical ointment applcations or it could be a deep seated infection that can only be cured via oral meds or a combination of both. The best way to know would be to consult with a skin specialist.

you can see your doctor, and ask what would be good. tht would be the most effective thing. They also sell small patches tht go on top of your nails. they are supposed to cure the nail fungus tht you might have, but i'm not sure how effective tht would be. your best shot would be to ask your doctor what he thinks would work best, or if he/she can do anything. good luck!
