Question 1

Accepted Answer

Probably not fungus: You forgot to identify the "medicated cream". Tea tree  oil is not very effective. You need to begin with a precise diagnosis. "Fungus" is not likely. See a dermatologist.

Question 2

i had on acrylic nails and i broke my nail bed in half (injury), right now my nail bed is very short and i was wondering if its gonna grow back to normal. i have a little fungus. ive used tea tree oil. so will that go away too? or is this permanent?

Accepted Answer

: A little fungus is not a useful statement. If there is fungal infection of the exposed nail bed you should try an over the counter antifungal cream. If that does not resolve the issue in a week or so, it would be prudent to see a doctor.
Wish you good health!

Question 3

will fungus on the toenail be cured permanently with tea tree oil?

Accepted Answer

Doubt it.: Possible distal mycosis of the nail edge may benefit from tea tree oil but generally the tea tree oil is used as a vehicle from antifungual medications.

Question 4

how do you use tea tree oil for foot fungus?

Rub it on: Apply it to the affected area twice daily.

Question 5

can tea tree oil help in treating foot fungus such as athletes foot?

Accepted Answer

No really: Go to the pharmacy and buy Lotion cream that you can get without prescription.

Question 6

would applying tea tree oil and corn starch under breasts and in between help to kill a possible fungus (flat, reddish areas in the middle of breasts)?

Accepted Answer

Fungal Infection: I am not sure why you would try this combination which has absolutely no anti-fungal properties when there are numerous anti-fungal medications or treatments available without prescription.

Question 7

does tea tree oil   really work for toenail fungus?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I have seen cases where it has worked for people.

Question 8

dr oz recommends vicks vaporub or   vinegar solution for nail fungus. are they effective at all? how about tea tree oil?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no.: All three of those can help to some extent but are not what you would call effective except in all but the most minimal of fungal infections.  Since a fungal nail infection is slow growing, the above remedies can be tried.  After about three months, if no improvement is noted, stronger remedies should be tried under a doctors supervision.

Question 9

can tea tree oil cure foot fungus toe nail fungus?

Accepted Answer

Tea Tree Fungus: This is commonly used as a natural remedies for toenail fungus but my experience is that it is not very effective in moderate or severe cases. It may be slightly effective if there is only a small amount of fungus present. Keeping the nail trimmed short and filed thin may help at work slightly better.

Question 10

will lavender or rosemary oil help treat nail fungus? have already tried apple cider vinegar, listerine, coconut and tea tree oil

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Lavender and rosemary oil are no better than the other remedies you have mentioned.
