went to podiatrist and was told that i don’t have a nail fungus

soak your nails in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your nails looking healthy again.

One nail is darkened in color under the nail-and it is real painful in the morning, but just tender by the afternoon.Any suggestions?

I work in a Derm’s office and it doesn’t sound like a fungus. Sounds more like you may have damaged the nail (wearing different shoes, dropping something on it etc) The nail needs to grow out which could take months depending on where the ‘bruise’ is. I have never heard anyone say that fungus was painful. If you want to treat it for fungus anyway, there are many creams for this treatment, go to any drug store and find one that is in your price range, use it twice a day and make sure you rub some of the cream under your toenail as far as you can as well as over the top of the nail.

DOES THE NAIL FALL OFF? DOES NEW ONE GROW?
HOW BAD DOES IT GET?

apply some oil of oregano topically
take internally capsules of oil of oregano
take internally capsules of Olive Leaf Extract
apply some neat Oil of Lavender to mend the broken tissues.

medical insurance call ther condition estethics. I disagree.

I have heard about old people using vicks vapor rub on the nail. It takes a while but seems to work.

Ok, I probably should have taken care of this when it first appeared but im really tired of having to wear socks all the time becuase my toe nails are embarassing. Can any one tell of home remedies THAT HAVE WORKED FOR THEM.

definitely you need to get rid of fungus!

for me worked very well ZetaClear!Nail fungus is tough to treat. The extracts in zetaclear provide the most powerful therapeutic effect for healthy looking nails.

Obviously, you can’t spray herbicide on your feet or hands! The next best thing is Zetaclear. It’s made from all-natural homeopathic ingredients. This product works time after time and results are guaranteed. This extra strength solution is designed to be as aggressive and strong as possible, without causing irritation.

It worked fast and still works for me!

I do not know if any pharmacies carry ZetaClear but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.zetaclear.com/?aid=749165

I have acrylic nails, my thumb nail is getting a fungus, what can I do at home? I do not want to have the nails removed, I know that is best, but what can I say? I am vain….

As a former licensed nail tech I can tell you that the only thing for you to do is remove the acrylics. Either remove them yourself with an acetone soak or have them professionally removed. You run the risk of complications if you leave them on. Be smart and give your nails a break and wait for the infection to grow out. Most cases will grow out and become clear again, because it’s more of a mildew situation than an actual viral fungus.
You also need to address the reason why you got the fungus. Are you getting them filled every 2 weeks? if you wait a long time between fills you run the risk of infection. What kind of nail salon are you going to.. you need to make sure the sanitation of your salon is up to snuff. Some asian salons do not sterilize all of the implements between clients. And fungus is very contagious.
If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me.

My small toe, I guess it’s the "pinky toe" turned yellow and know it is gray/white. I am a very clean person so this fungus didn’t seem right… Well, I wanted to know if there are effective alternates to cure it. I don’t want to take a medicine that can damage my liver, but I don’t want an ugly toenail either.

Toe nail fungus remedy using tea tree oil
Tea tree oil is a potent natural antiseptic and fungicide that will help fight your fungus. Apply undiluted tea tree oil with olive oil to the affected toe nail. Alternatively you can put few drops of tea tree oil on toenails and rub it thoroughly every day.

Using Listerine mouthwash
Soak your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toe nails looking healthy.

Curing toe nail fungus using warm water and natural apple cider vinegar
Soak your toenails for 15 – 20 minutes in basin full of warm water and natural apple cider vinegar mixed in equal proportion. When done, dry your toenails thoroughly. Use a hair dryer on warm setting to absorb all the moisture in and around the toes

Tea tree oil and Lavender oil
Put equal amount of tea tree oil and lavender oil on a cotton ball or swab. Dab it under the top edge of the toe nail and surrounding area 2 or 3 times a day. Tea tree oil is natural antibiotic and lavender will help fight the infection and prevent skin irritation

Using Oregano and Olive oil
Blend 2 drops of Oregano essential oil with a tsp of olive oil. Apply this mixture on the affected area daily for NOT more than three weeks. Oregano essential oil has antiseptic, antibacterial, antiparasitical, antiviral, analgesic and antifungal properties

AHA creams
Lather AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) creams on to your feet before going to bed. This will flush the rough scaly skin from your feet that is more prone to growing fungus

I’ve heard listerine or Absorbine Jr. Goodluck. If its a fingernail; and you got the fungus from a nail shop, you can buy OTC antifungal creams and apply twice daily.

Thanks!

Go to any beauty supply or a Walgreens or CVS and go to the nail section and get the nail fungus drops. Put that on it like 3 X’s a day, or read the directions. When I had a toenail fungus, My toenail lifted up almost completely, it was disguisting! so I used the stuff and it worked. It costs like $5
