Help me please.......my feet are aweful with Toenail Fungus what can I do (sorry for the horrible photos) .....I don't want to take anything that is going to affect my liver as I am already in poor health. My whole body is now itchy could this be due to the nail fungus. I have had nail fungus for years and years now but the itching started this year

Clipping these as short as possible will help tremendously with the itching.

Community comment#2

Clip, file as much as you can. Vicks vapor rub & lemon juice on them, in them, everywhere you can get it in or on the nail. Twice daily

Walgreens has a fungus product called Emuaid I have been using for 2 months now and it is slowly (it can take up to a year) to see significant results!

Community comment#4

Have you tried seeing a podiatrist? You can tell them your concern regarding the medicine I am sure they can have an alternative. The first thing I would do is clip those nails and file. Whenever I do that I would put rubbing alcohol with a cotton ball after just to clean it, and then coconut oil. Call your doctor and schedule an appointment! Goodluck! 😊

Have you had your thyroid level checked. And might be a yeast overgrowth.

Community comment#6

I am in the UK so unfortunately we don't have a Walmart's.

I did and then fell pregnant so didn't end up getting anything done. I should go back but we are in lockdown at the moment and money is tight ☹️

I have had my thyroid checked and thankfully that was ok.

Community reply · In reply to an earlier comment#14

What is the connection between thyroid and nail fungus??

Community reply · In reply to an earlier comment#15

idk but my holistic doctor said so. She changed my thyroid rx and my toenails are getting better. Low thyroid can affect lots of things also thinning hair.

my sugar consumption isn't that high

when i had itchiness in my feet it was greatly helped when i washed and scrubbed my whole foot with particular attention to the toes, with a toothbrush. i wash my feet twice a day and do multiple applications of tea tree oil, iodine and clotrimazole. i also do coconut oil on occasion. just make your toes a priority and you may see a difference.

my mom had the same spots with itch. It ended up being an infection right under the skin. She had to take antibiotics for the bacteria and thankfully after having it so long and all over her body it went away.

Community reply · In reply to an earlier comment#23

I have been on 5 lots of antibiotics and none of them have helped 😭☹️

Community reply · In reply to an earlier comment#24

I’ll find out what she used. They took a biopsy to do labs and it finally worked. Before the doctor would prescribe ointments and other things they thought it could be. She had it for months and it spread everywhere.

Community reply · In reply to an earlier comment#25

, have you been bitten by a Tick? The skin rash could be from a tick bite.

Community reply · In reply to an earlier comment#26

no as it is literally all over my body.....arms, legs, tummy, back etc etc ☹️😭

Community reply · In reply to an earlier comment#27

omg that would be fantastic if you could. Do you know what the condition was called as well / what the issue was? My doctor's keep fobbing me off with antibiotics and creams and nothing has worked. This has been going on since January this year and I am at my wit's end. My body looks aweful and the itching is driving me insane 😭☹️ xx

Community reply · In reply to an earlier comment#28

, yep a tick bite will do that ALL over the body.

Community reply · In reply to an earlier comment#29

I think you should try to see a dermatologist and an allergist! The itchy body might not have anything to do with nail fungus! As for the the nail fungus, cut and file your nails short and try doing a foot soak every day! You can probably find some good recipes on line. I’m not at all telling you to do this , but I splash a little bleach in the foot bath! I guess it’s like chlorinating the water. And before bed, I use “Nail Fungi.” It’s a liquid in a bottle that has like a nail polish brush! I have been really diligent since we’ve been on pandemic lockdown. Good luck!
