My podiatrist prescribed ketoconazole cream and it seems to be doing a better job than anything else I’ve tried.

Hi! Is epsom salt, hydrogen peroxide or Vicks better for quickly getting rid of toe nail fungus? TIA

There’s no quick fix. However, I have been soaking in white iodine(an old remedy I found when researching) and it is working. I also started Jublia a few months into the white iodine treatment.
Yes
Or combination?
The only way to get rid of it quickly and permanently is to chop all your toes off
Thank you! Just out of curiosity did you try epsom salt or hydrogen peroxide?
do you apply the ketoconazole cream directly to the toenails?
I think it's just hiding it better than some other stuff. You let us know when you get rid of it and it's gone for 2 or 3 months.
is this ringworm cream ? I was staring at my tube of that because son had ringworm And was thinking I wonder if this would work on toe fungus ?!?
No, I tried Vicks and clear iodine
Thank you!!
I’m applying it all around my nails, which have mostly fallen off.
thank you. Good to hear it’s helping 🥰
I’m waiting for my lab results to come back to start itraconazole. Hopefully I can tolerate it better than Lamisil.
I don’t think so, but you can try. Ringworm is a fungal infection, so it would make sense!
was the iodine working before jublia ?
Where do you purchase white iodine?

Yes it was.
On Amazon
This has been my routine since November. I soak in white iodine for 1 minute. I put the iodine in 2” glass bowls I purchased on Amazon. (Put the bowls in a disposable casserole pan because they spill). You soak in it twice per day for one week, then once per day for another week, then go to three times a week, then two times a week and then once per week until it’s grown out. Take a nail file and scuff the surface of the nail for better absorption once per week. Dispose of the nail file after each use. I also soak in epsom salt for 20 min per week and clean around and underneath the nails with nail tools. On the non- iodine days I apply Jublia. I’ve had success with this combo.
