This problem has to have been around forever. Does anyone have a remedy that they got from their grandmother? All the websites just want to sell you their products

If you have the common kind of toenail fungus, there is no topical cure. You have to get a prescription for Lamisil. If it isn't serious, the Lamisil spray or powder over the counter may help.

There is NO topical home cure for toenail fungus - NOT EVEN TEA TREE OIL!
You have to get a scrip for Lamisil pills. It takes months to work, you have to be monitored for liver damage, and the fungus usually comes back after you stop taking it.

You need to cut the nail way down as far as you can. Let the skin underneath be exposed to air. My nail salon has been doing this a few weeks and it's working (does not hurt). It's not so pretty for awhile but eventually your nail will be healthy and clear. It's simple and probably something Grandma did. I've had this problem for years and I tried all the topical treatments too and this is the only thing that helped.

Tea tree oil should kill the fungus, isnt a quick fix but will work if given a week or so. Its realatively cheap and so easy to use..can be used for hundreds of other uses also.

There are absolutley NO otc cures for this stuff. There is a nail polish that you can get from your doctor, I cant remember what it's called but it works wonders and FAST!

Tea Tree Oil. It takes a long time to get rid of in almost any case.

You can use Listerine, the yellow kind. It is a great disinfectant! It is listed as a home remedy.........
I had this once and I used nail polish remover too. It went away!
