Toenail fungus?

Is there any way to get rid of toenail fungus other than penlac?


Is there a home remedy?Toenail fungus?
Lamasil is a prescription drug that is supposed to work well but take a long time, is expensive and can cause liver damage.


I have heard of people applying vinegar to toenail every day because fungus cannot grow in an acidic environment. Also have heard of people using Vicks vapor rub. You can use a rotary tool like the nail salons use to thin the thick nail to make it look more normal.


Here is a great site for info~ http://www.toenailfungus.org/

Don't listen to Hamid B. He refers to a fungal infection as a virus. He even has himself in a lab coat HA HA. MORON!

Maybe that's the problem. People in lab coats do not know the difference between fungi and viruses even when it is spelled out for them. BTW there are very few antiviral medications. And yes yellow toe fungus is a fungus not a virus.

Not that I know of. I'm sorry......like most fungal infections, takes special medicines.





I am an RN
maybe (only topical) tea tree oil
Boric acid and rubbing alcohol. 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol to 1 tablespoon of boric acid. Mix then dab a cotton ball and soak it, then place all over the affected area. Do this every day until it clears up. Be sure to keep boric acid away from children and animals. Do not ingest!!! It's poisonous when ingested! ALSO, you can use Listerine mouth wash. Same thing, just dab a cotton ball in it and rub all over the affected area. Good luck! :)

A podiatrist told me that soaking it in vinegar water works.

No topical medication, tea, acid, alcohol, urine, tree sap, or water buffalo saliva will help this condition. As was said in one of the answers, this is a viral infection and oral medication is the only way. Lamasil is a 3 month therapy and Sporanox is a 6 month therapy. In both cases a pill is taken by mouth, daily.





And it works!! You will have to have your liver examined via blood test before prescription.
