buy Listerine - the original.........soak you toes in Listerine three times a day, about 10 minutes each time, and in about one month you will find the fungus GONE

Hello =)
Best cure and prevention is sunlight....lots and lots of sunlight...
Sand and seawater help also..
Can you take a vacation to a beach sometime soon?? then, afterward, stop keeping your feet covered so much, and get some sun on your toes....sandals are your toenail's best friend.
There is that pill from the commercial with the little bugaboo that lives under your toenail. It takes a while to work, but if you don't correct the condition that caused the fungus in the first place, it'll just return ultimately. Those conditions are lack of sunlight.
Namaste, and Happy Holidays,
--Tom

My Nana soaked a cottonball with mouthwash and applied to her toenail twice a day and this got rid of her fungal infection. seriously!
other than that, go to your doctor and he/she will give you something to use. Or try the chemist, i'm sure there's something you can buy over the counter that is quite effective.
Sort it out ASAP though, otherwise it will spread to other toenails!

You can get ointment/ antibiotic cream over the counter at walgreens/ longs/ most drug stores its good stuff and worked good for a friend of mine plus its cheaper than going to see a doctor and it works.
keep your feet dry and clean and change your socks regular cuz bacteria loves the wet dark places to grow. use the anti fungal spray in your shoes (you can get that from drug store too), but dont just leave the problem or it will get worse....and ignore the stupid comments by people.
good luck.xx

I was told to make a solution of 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water, then spray on toes every night and allow to dry. I haven't tried it yet so good luck.

yes, if you go to your g.p surgery, there are prescriptions available. two choices, 1 is a couse of medication, which may take up to a year to clear up, the other is a laquer (clear) called "LOCERYL" which comes as a complete kit, alcohol wipes, nail boards, applicator etc. which is very effective and will clear the fungal infection within just a couple of months, applied once a week .

Had the same. Went to GP sent clipping away for 6 weeks just got result with antibiotics for 3 months. Except they took so long to get result actually it grew out on its own. It takes about 9 months to one year to finish.

If you steep a tablespoon of fresh thyme and put it in a footbath, that's supposed to help.

Yes but you MUST get it confirmed by your doc before you can be given the treatment. (dont remember why but is very important to get a correct diagnosis in this case)
