I let my toe nails grow a lil bit longer in the summer...colder weather came and from me wearing normal shoes, my big toe nails lifted from the base (gross, I know) and I cut them short, but the damage was already done. Now I have black fungus under both of my big toe nails (more under the right one). IS THERE ANY PRODUCT I CAN USE TO GET RID OF IT??????
THANK YOU!!!

Anti-fungals in liquid form topically applied to the nail region, particularly under the nail plate once to twice daily for a few months. If the topical therapy is ineffective you will necessarily need an oral anti-fungal prescribed by your physician--the newer oral agents need only be taken for 12 weeks. Blood tests are necessary to make certain there are no side effects on the liver.

Lamisil, it really works. You do need a doc's prescription thou. Plus I heard it's expensive so I hope you have good insurance. In the future keep your nails short, not too short and dry your feet well before putting on your shoes. I even put the blow dryer to my feet in the morning before putting on my shoes, moisture will cause fungus. Wear a clean fresh pair of socks every day and try not to wear the same shoes day after day either

Black fungus infection is certainly an advanced stage infection. At this advanced stage of infection one can notice thick nail, deformed nail, flaking of the nail etc. In more severe cases one can see peeling of the skin that is near the nail. One can also experience severe pain at the tip.

See your podiatrist.

I feel sorry for you. Go to the pharmacy and go down the aisle for nail fungus. If it's really bad, you might have to go to the doctor.
