Question 1

how to cure a fungus on toe?

Accepted Answer

Antifungal Medicines: There is not necessarily a 'cure', but we have many options for treatment.   First, is this fungus in the toenail or on the skin?   I am going to approach the answer as if it is in the nail.   
Treatment options:
1.  Home Remedy:  Mix equal parts of Listerine with White Vinegar and apply that with a Q-tip daily.  
2.  Prescription Topical Medicine 
3. Oral Medication (Lamisil (terbinafine) or Sporanox)

Question 4

i've had a toe fungus for a while now and i've tryed over-the-counter creams to cure it but it doesn't seem to completly go away. how can i fix this?

Accepted Answer

Toe fungus: Topical creams are of little use for toe fungus. You need medications that work from the inside, which means anti-fungal meds such as lamacil. The treatment takes months and you need to have your liver function monitored to check for side effects. See your doc today to begin treatment.Laser is the other option which can clear fungus.

Question 5

is there a cure for toe fungus that won't ruin your liver?

Accepted Answer

New lasers may work: A person with toenail fungus can talk with a primary care doctor or a dermatologist about the treatment options. Anti-fungal medicines can be strong on the liver, but that doesn't mean such medicines will "ruin" every patient's liver. Usually, only the unlucky patients get liver damage (many patients don't get liver problems). Foot doctors (podiatrists) have new lasers to treat toenail fungus.

Question 6

Laser: Yag laser can have the quickest effect but there is no proof the results will last more than 1-2 years. The usual treatment is oral Lamisil (terbinafine) for 3 months with the effect occurring over one year.
