Beginings of toe fungus?

Question

I have what seems to be the beginning of toe nail fungus on one of my nails. How can I remedy this problem?

Answer 1

using tea tree oil
Tea tree oil is a potent natural antiseptic and fungicide that will help fight your fungus. Apply undiluted tea tree oil with olive oil to the affected toe nail. Alternatively you can put few drops of tea tree oil on toenails and rub it thoroughly every day.

Using Listerine mouthwash
Soak your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toe nails looking healthy.

warm water and natural apple cider vinegar
Soak your toenails for 15 - 20 minutes in basin full of warm water and natural apple cider vinegar mixed in equal proportion. When done, dry your toenails thoroughly. Use a hair dryer on warm setting to absorb all the moisture in and around the toes

Tea tree oil and Lavender oil
Put equal amount of tea tree oil and lavender oil on a cotton ball or swab. Dab it under the top edge of the toe nail and surrounding area 2 or 3 times a day. Tea tree oil is natural antibiotic and lavender will help fight the infection and prevent skin irritation

Using Oregano and Olive oil
Blend 2 drops of Oregano essential oil with a tsp of olive oil. Apply this mixture on the affected area daily for NOT more than three weeks. Oregano essential oil has antiseptic, antibacterial, antiparasitical, antiviral, analgesic and antifungal properties

AHA creams
Lather AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) creams on to your feet before going to bed. This will flush the rough scaly skin from your feet that is more prone to growing fungus


Diet for Toe nail fungus
Diet plays a very vital role in curing any ailment. People suffering from toe nail fungus should include more probiotics – good bacteria, in their diet. This will help your body to get rid of the fungus. Yogurt and kefir are good sources of probiotics. Reduce intake of refined carbs like sugar, dairy products and vinegar. Olive leaf extract is an excellent internal anti-fungal agent.

Answer 2

I've been told by some on some of the online groups that I'm on that tea tree oil is supposed to be good for helping toenail fungus, but I would recommend checking with your dr to evaluate the situation before trying the tea tree oil.

Answer 3

I was just sent an email that if you spray on a mixture of 50/50 hydrogen peroxide onto your toes each night and let the solution dry on your toes, that it would take care of the fungus. Take care. Glo

Answer 4

VICKS VAPO-RUB...
Sounds goofy, but it works...
My hubby suffered from toenail fungus for years and one of the RN's at the hospital I work at suggested using Vicks (she heard it from someone who heard it from someone, etc...) so I told him to try it. He saw results in a few weeks.
He has seen doctors who have prescribed special creams at almost $90 a tube that have not worked. And the Vicks seems to do the trick!!! Can't explain it; just know it works.
Try it; you have nothin' to lose,,,except the nasty fungus, right?

Good luck!

Answer 5

I would ask a pharmacist. He can probably tell you which over-the-counter medicine works well (there are a lot of products out there).
