Does vinegar work well on finger and toenail fungus?

No: No, you will likely need more focused treatment than vinegar for nail fungus. Your family physician or a dermatologist can help you with this.

Vinegar nail fungus: This is something i often here patient's say they have tried as a home remedy. While there may be some validity to using vinegar to soften the nail which may help the fungus leave the nail more easily, I have not read anything in which vinegar itself is an antifungal agent.
