I’ve had toenail fungus on my large toe nail for years.

I’ve had toenail fungus on my large toe nail for years. I saw someone post about using this developer cream from a box of hair bleach. It’s worked better than anything I’ve ever tried. I take a q-tip and dip in the cream then apply to the nail (thick). I either leave it like that or if I’m going to bed I put a bandaid around it. The first few times I did this, it hurt so bad after a few minutes, like throbbing but I powered through and within a few days it stopped hurting. Now it doesn’t hurt at all anymore and my nail has grown out clean. *I got this developer from a box of hair bleach from Amazon*

I remember someone posting about this! Thank you for updating us. Do you have a before or after.

Community comment#2

How long did it take to show improvement?

Community comment#3

I guess the castor oil that you said worked in January didn’t really work permanently? I’m willing to try anything.

Community comment#4

How often are you doing this?

Community comment#5

It makes sense that something used for another purpose would work on toenail fungus. Just natural perversity!

Community comment#6

Nykip I don’t have a great before. This was from last year when I trimmed my nail all the way back.

Oh my gosh!! This is similar to mine. I should try it. Did you try anything else, epsom foot soaks? Jublia? Meds?

Community reply · In reply to an earlier comment#13

how many minutes did you soak it each time?

Community reply · In reply to an earlier comment#14

was your nail thick to where it crumbled and was black/brown before trimming it that far back?

Community reply · In reply to an earlier comment#15

It worked so well but it didn’t fully get it all…. It didn’t actually cure it. It did make my nail better than what it was but I felt like it just slowly stopped improving.

Community reply · In reply to an earlier comment#23

I agree. I had such great success with castor oil, and then the improvement slowed. Sometimes I think these remedies hydrate the nail, which helps visually improve the nail, but nothing else.

Nykip that is exactly what a lot of them do.

Community reply · In reply to an earlier comment#25

Nykip well this developer is opposite of hydrating haha I would give it a try!
