Antifungal drug: Your problem is caused by a fungus called trichophyton which has already infected your nail beds. Thus you will likely need to take an antifungal pill for months to get rid of it. Since this drug may occasionally caused liver damage, you will need a blood test done occasionally to make sure that it has not affected your liver. Laser treatment has also been promoted but results?

To start with...: It may be athlete's foot. The best otc medication (in my opinion) is lotrimin (clotrimazole) ultra. Socks should be a synthetic material like those manufactured by thorlo [http://www.Thorlo.Com/]. Dilute vinegar soaks are good as well. Dry the inside of your shoes by placing them up-side down over an air return vent at home overnight. If this doesn't make things better in a couple days, see a podiatrist.

If it comes back: Again and again, a few things you can do: 1) follow and finish the prescription- make sure you have 100% compliance to the medical order. 2) buy some otc Miconazole powder and spill it inside your shoes, leave it on overnight, and cleaning them out next day.
