Are you people really this stupid or have you never heard of a dermatologist? You take a course of Lamisil/terbinafine. Nothing else works. The doctor will tell you it’s really hard on your liver and not to drink and you’ll say OK and you’ll drink anyway.

My dermatologist tried to sign me up for this, but when she scheduled me for a liver panel I noped out of there. That’s when I started researching home remedies. I figured there was something people used before we became so medicalized. Sure enough, there are several out there. Vicks was the easiest for me; I already had some in the medicine cabinet.

I had it on my big toe. Creams don't work. Clip and file down as much as possible. Use pro clearZ. Put on as often as possible. After you feel its gone, keep applying for 3 weeks. It penetrates the nail really well, you can feel it.

That is the most redneck shite I have read on the internet today.

What kind of redneck witch doctor came up with that ?

Who thinks that introducing prolonged skin contact with carcinogenic byproducts from engine wear and combustion is a viable medical solution?

Just gotta treat for months, it subsides slow as hell.

This just reminded me of my coworker the other day. He went to his doc to get a biopsy for a spot on his face. He also had a pretty big wart on his hand. They removed the wart, but told him if it came back they have just discovered a new treatment: he is to soak the affected area for 30 minutes a day for 18 weeks.

Cut nail short and use nail file to file nail as thin as possible. Then soak toe in 90% rubbing alcohol a couple of nights. Damaged nail from fungus will crumble off. Keep removing nail to expose nail bed and alcohol will kill fungus in nail bed.

Only fool proof solution is drugs. Other remedies like vapor rub work for some but not others.

Sporanox prescription. The infection is a fungal infection inside your body. Will not go away without this type of med.

Quit peeing in the shower. That’s what feeds foot funguses, fungi, and fungus.

Put some vinegar and baking soda on a towel, get a zip lock bag filled with ice and put the towel, the side with vinegar and BS and put the ice over it. Do this twice a day and you should start seeing it work within 2 days.

30 years ago I had a neighbor who told my wife that for menstrual pain she should put scissors under her pillow at night and it will cut the pain in half.

Same woman had a son who had an infected cut on his finger. She finally took him to a doctor who removed the bandage to examine it. When doing so, something fell out and he asked her what that was. It was a roach fried in oil that would draw the infection out.

Some places offer laser surgery if Lamisil doesn't work.

Just remember to be patient. It took several weeks before I was sure it was working. I had black fungus on my nails which went away pretty quickly, but the nail was still crumbling from the underlying infection. After about a month I could see that the new nail growing in was healthy. The nail is about halfway grown out now, and there’s just a small amount remaining from the infection that is too close to the quick to cut out. Good luck!

Soak your feet in hydrogen peroxide for 30 minutes a month for 4 months. It will be gone thereafter. Only cure I have ever found.
