Picked up a good tip on this subject here last week - I'm trying it and it is working.
Several people suggested using Vicks Vaporub and applying it on the toe nail, and under the toe nail. Thought it couldn't work and was probably someone taking the mickey, but only one week later my toe is much improved. Of course, depending how bad the infection, it can take ages to clear up as the nail has to grow out again.
I also hear Tea Tree Oil is good - my nail technicial friend recommended that, but I haven't tried it yet.

Yes cider vinegar about a pound a bottle. soak it in the stuff. is best to let it soak. You can soak inside of a plaster or Cotton wool and leave on for a while. the trouble is that just wetting it with vinegar- well the cider does not stay active for long it gets wiped off - unless you soak it all the time. The kits are expensive. Also before adding vinegar - file down the infected part of the nail - this makes it look nicer and you get more vinegar onto infected part. good luck.

Is that like $18? Go to the drugstore and buy some epsome salt for really cheap.

I am assuming you mean Loceryl lacquer.

Get your GP or practice nurse to take nail clippings to confirm the diagnosis. Assuming the result is +ve he will prescribe. A 3 month pack will then only cost you £6.50.

There is nothing worse than cheesy toes, 18 pounds is a small price to pay.

£18 is cheaper than an amputation and Hospital bills if your infection get worst.

if its a fugal infection(nails are thicker and creamer) then you need to get it sorted because it will spread to each nail. I didnt know boots sold some if they do great and i hope you get it if they dont qvc also sell some
