I have had nail fungus on two toenails for years. Both nails became so thick that it hurt me to wear closed shoes. I went to the podiatrist and he sold me some oil for $40 for a half ounce. I used it faithfully. When that ran out I bought some more. But after a year, the improvement was so slight it was useless. At that rate, it would be ten years before they healed.
I did recall that he said any remedy for nail fungus had to be oil based in order to penetrate the nail. I had some oil of oregano that I had used for a sore throat. I read up on it, and one of its wonderful abilities is to kill fungus. I have been using it for six months now, and the bad part of both nails is almost completely grown out. The new nails look so healthy! I am jazzed!
I will keep using this oil (which retails for around $30 for a one ounce bottle) for about a year to make sure the fungus is gone. I hope this helps someone. I have a dear friend who elected to have her toenails all removed. (shudder)

When I developed a fungus on my big toe my doctor sent me to Walmart to buy a jar of Vicks salve. I spread it over the infected area twice a day and could see the results in less than a week.
Someone on here one time said try Vicks Vapor Rub the dollar store brand and apply it to the nail and under and rub in, almost instant results and I had thick callouses on the heels and big toe and it softened them and they peeled and are normal in less than 3 months.
Tea tree oil is very effective also and can be quite a bit cheaper to purchase. I had the same problem with toe nails on both feet and am happy to say I have lovely healthy nails now!
After trying prescription lotion, pills, & paint on stuff, I read about tea tree oil. Used it 2X per day & in about 3-4 months
the fungus was gone. When I told my Dr., he took down the information (including where to get it) & said he was going to pass it on to other patients. If it irritates your skin...mix it with a little bit of olive, sesame, almond oil, etc.
