What would you recommend to be the best treatment for fungus on finger and toe nails? Loceryl paint or Lamisil tablets. Heard Lamisil have many side effects!
Onychomycosis is fungal infection of the nail plate, nail bed, or both.
Please see the web pages for more details on Onychomycosis and Terbinafine (generic name) Lamisil (brand name).

Lamisil will help.
Buy Tea Tree Oil….put it on your nails before bedtime and put gloves or socks on to keep it from getting in your eyes. This should help clear it up.

Use Listerine.
Put listerine on cotton ball and swab toes with the listerine.
Do this until fungus goes away.

Someone told me, and it sounds SO nasty…BUT…
Yogurt.
Put yogurt on the affected nails, and the cultures will eat the fungus.
If you do this over the course of a few months, once a day, it goes away.

I was told by my doctor the topical treatments do not work well, and I tried several that did nothing! The pills are a pain, because you take them for I think 3 monthes, but they worked well for me. I think as long as your liver function is ok normally that is the big side effect.

Before you try any of the antifungal solutions, you may want to try tea tree oil. Most types of fungus don’t like it, and it does get rid of it. Good luck

I went to my doctor about a toe nail problem. He told me those medicines have bad side effects. He told me that some of his patients told him that using vick vapor rub is suppose to help eliminate the fungus. So i tried it and so far I actually see a change my Doc said it might take a couple of months but so far I do actually see the nails looking better.
Its inexpensive and easy to do. Just put it on your nails at night and put on a sock and let it work. Most of all it won’t mess up your liver and it doesn’t burn.
