Boric acid. The acidic form of the element boron. All natural and inexpensive.

Go to the pharmacy or doctors and get proper treatment

Have the nails removed and start an oral anti fungal while starting with a fresh nail bed and stack with a topical as well. This may be one option. If that doesn’t work, go the nuclear option, a complete nail matrixectomy where the nail is removed and the nail bed is destroyed and your nails never grow back. I had to go the nuclear option and it’s been the best decision I ever made. My only regret is not doing 20yrs sooner. I can confidently go barefoot anywhere, anytime now.

Electric nail file and Rowe casa healthy nail salve has worked WONDERS. I’ve tried so many treatments over the years and literally nothing has helped until now. I’ve made so much progress and actually hopeful to not have to hide my feet this summer.

I agree with Frank, I tried everything and found out about Matrixectomy. Pretty uncomfortable for the first 2 weeks especially the big toe, but it so much better now. Nuke them with matrixectomy.

Wash /steep feet in warm water for several minutes. Dry thoroughly, then immediately smear Vicks VapoRub on ALL nails, not just the ones affected ! This MUST BE DONE every day, FOR SEVERAL MONTHS ! It definitely worked for me !

My story I had it on my left big toe for awhile and was trying different things I started taking oregano and black seed oil and it went away on that toe months later got it on my right big toe heard about borax started doing that and noticed that it's starting to fade away ☺️ that's what's working for me! Have a great day God bless 💖✨

can you please share a link? or take a screenshot of the box/bag that it comes in? i'd like to purchase the right product.

Margaret Richardson you have no idea how hard it is. i've tried everything. went to the doctor's, got a script. nothing works.

Temporary removal and Permanent Removal felt the exact same. The numbing shots are the most painful part. Post procedure, after numbing shots wear off there is some dull aching pain, but nothing like this shots. No pain 24hrs post procedure. I went back to work immediately after each procedure and back to working out at running 24hrs later.

I honestly can not remember, but I got a strange, tingling sensation, when it must have been killing the mycelium, (the very tiny, thread-like, strands, of the fungus). In fact, now, I think that it may have darkened, somewhat, after several applications, when the fungus had been fully killed off and I was able to use nail-clippers, to cut off the dead part of the nail. This was after at least two weeks though and I don't remember it actually going black. I hope that helped.

It was a strange, but somewhat pleasant sensation, when it must have been attacking the fungus but, in addition, the pain slowly went away, when the nail was pressed upon.

i have three nails lifting up so it's a severe case. two years ago i went to a private podiatrist to do laser. i've paid well over $2000 only to have my nails get worse. i wish i could take back time because my toenails were not bad. and now they're horrible.

I had an earlier toenail problem a few years ago and was given antibiotics. It was basically a wound caused by cutting a toenail, where I nicked a piece of the skin and it wouldn't heal. Eventually I went to a Podiatrist. The treatment recommended was very cheap and simple. More importantly, IT WORKED ! It was to steep my foot in warm, salty water for five minutes. I can't remember if it was once or twice a day, but it definitely worked !

If you haven’t tried terbinafine yet, check with your doctor first to see if that’s a good option for you. After 7 years of having toenail fungus that’s the only thing that cleared it for me.

I know how frustrating Fungus can be. I would like to recommend Dr Nail Fungus. ACV is an all natural holistic approach.

I’ve been treating for about a month and the new nail is clear which is great u get 1 x treatment polish and 1 x normal polish so it all blends in if u r treating a specific nail u paint with the treatment bottle the others the normal polish that’s provided. In short the treatment nail polish can be revel everyday by just rolling and peeling off then u just reapply it’s great
