For fungal infection under the toenail, there are not topical treatements that are much effective, unless the toenail is removed. Oral prescription medications can be very effective. You may have to take them for long periods and the fungus may recur. See your doctor. Don't take someone else's prescription medication.

Go to the doctor. I got a severe case when I was in the Navy and was prowling around in wet marshy areas. The Navy doc gave me a product called Lamisil. He told me that it is the best stuff but it only works on about 80% of the people that use it. Nothing over the counter is going to work.

This may seem crazy. Try agricultural corn gluten meal. Make a paste of it and apply it to the toe nail, wrap it with gauze or cloth to hold the paste in place.
The agricultural corn gluten meal has a powerful antifungal property in it. I've never had to use it myself but other people I know swear by it.
Try this link. If you contact them, they might be able to tell you where to find it in your area.
You may have to shop around but you'll find it at gardening stores, particularly the ones that sell products for organic gardening.

I read in cosmo that if you take a regular nail filer and file the top few layers of your toenails...it will get rid of the discoloration. if that does not work then you prolly do have some kind of fungas which you can treat.....but you may need to get it perscribed by a foot doctor....

Oregano Oil kills it quickly. You have to wait for the nails to grow out but you can see the new nail is healthy.

Big bucket or container (large enough to put both feet in) fill with warm water and plenty of vinegar, then place your feet in and let them soak for awhile. Really does help, plus relaxing and soughing. :) good luck
