Nail fungal infection.
Permalink  

FYI, and consideration.

My wife and I both suffer from a fungal infection in our big toe nailS. We have been using Loceral for many years.

We have been on the road now for 11 months and listen to the ABC most days in country.

About 3 months ago, the topic on the radio was "feet", and the Podiatrist offered this information.

To treat fungal infection in toe nails apply "Vicks VapoRub" to the nail daily.

I have been doing his suggestion and can confirm that the advice given "WORKS"

Give it a try, much cheaper than Loceral, and or others that I/we have tried.

Regards.

Hetho.

Rub them over with mouth wash after shower . I thought it was BS . But it cleared mine up in 4 to 6 weeks . Listerene or Betadene .

Hetho,
We can second the Vicks VapoRub.
Jane had a nasty infection some time ago and used it.
Cleared the problem up very quickly....

Had the same issue, both big toe nails real bad & were becoming a bit deformed, went to a podiatrist who put 'laser' on both nails. Had about 5 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart & has now fixed the problem.

Gooday,

 Another sure method is paint the affected nails with Tea Tree Oil, at least once daily,  preferably twice, will take a few months but definitely works.
