This is gross but I need help. When I take a shower everyday I scrub my toenails real good but they still have a bad odor. What should I do?

Erm, toe nails arn't supposed to have a funky smell naturally, so you might have a fungal infection under the toe nail. It's totally normal, but something you don't want to leave untreated. You can easily get the anti-bacterial cream for nail fungi at any major department store like WalMart. If that doesn't help, see the foot doctor! -hope this helps!

talk to your doctor or a specialist. if your toenails smell that bad, you may have an infection. until then (or even after, if the doctor says it's okay) use a lotion or something to cover it up.

Try applying some tea tree oil - it has anti-bacterial properties & will help w/ the smell.
Also, use your blow dryer on your feet for a few seconds after drying your feet to make sure they are completely dry before putting on your socks & shoes.
If this persists, see a podiatrist.
