You need to purchase an electric file and thin this out as much as you can. Then soak w vinegar Epsom salt daily, and I apply an Antifungal liquid 2-3x a day

I think I got the fungal from boxing or the matts in the gym.
I think I got the fungal from boxing or the matts in the gym. This big toe was only first infected a month ago, it’s horrendous. Ive tried everything. I use white iodine every day and it just keeps spreading…

Podiatrist.

Alcohol wipes, Castor oil, tea tree oil, ACV soaks I also added Epsom salts to the soak. Be very consistent. Wash all of your socks inside out in hot water. Disinfect your shoes. Cut your nails way down. Also sit outside with your feet in the sun. Mine is completely gone. I never used any medication.

You need medical treatment

Consider Jublia topical and Terbinafine pills in tandem.

how long did it take and how long did you have it to begin with?

I would let my feet dry in the sun after the 20 minute Epsom salt soaks. Cut your nails a lot until you get all new growth coming in. Even though mine is completely gone now, after I take a shower I let my feet completely dry and put some castor oil on my toes and nails and then put socks on for a few hours. I don’t ever want it back again.

I had it for about 6 months before I was like wtheck is this. Once I did all of the things consistently every flippen day it took about 30-45 days to see a normal toenail coming in. Then I made sure to keep doing all of the things to keep to get rid of the fungus. About 3 times a day I would take an alcohol wipe (a different one for each toe and I think that was a huge thing to get rid of it. Also putting castor oil all over the my toes and nails and putting socks on. I would sleep bare foot at night so my feet could breathe. I washed sheets in hot water quite often.

Community comment#33
Sir, you walked an awful lot barefooted on a swimming or gym floor area to get this bad. How long did you do this before deciding to look for help.?
Community comment#34
Cut the affected nail close as you can first of all.
Community comment#35
Where has it spread to?
Community comment#36
I bought these and they were too harsh for my gut so I ground half of one in a mortise and pestle. https://www.amazon.com/.../B0030H.../ref=mp_s_a_1_1_maf_2... boiled water to dissolve, added vinegar and baking soda to the very warm soak. (Allow to cool until safe). I have fought thus for two years and in a month I saw real progress. Finally gone!
