You need to go to your doctor who will prescribe a certain cream that needs to be applied to your nails to clear up the fungus. My husband has it on his toe nails and he has to apply a clear-like varnish on them. The ones over the counter are no good. You do need to see the doctor who will find the right one for you.

How Is Nail Fungus Treated?
Treatment may include topical creams or oral medications (antifungal drugs). Topical antifungal agents are most effective when used to treat milder cases. Rarely, surgery may be required. Removal of the infected nail can be performed to permit direct application of a topical antifungal.
Toenail infections are more difficult to treat than fingernail infections because the toenail grows more slowly. In addition, a damp, warm environment of a shoe or boot can encourage fungal growth.
How Can I Prevent Getting Nail Fungus?
Avoid walking barefoot in public areas, such as locker rooms
Keep the inside of your shoes dry and change your socks frequently (100% cotton socks are recommended)
Wear proper fitting shoes (shoes with a wide toe area and ones that don't press your toes)
Use absorbent or antifungal powder

Go to the doctors and get a prescription, in order that you treat it with the correct medication, for the right type of fungus. Follow the directions on the prescription too.

simple cure - hold an ice cube right on the nail - 15 minutes - twice a day -
this will kill off the spores without any chemicals - (they HATE cold and cannot survive!)
