Pregnancy and fungus: Pregnancy must be taken into account while being treated for a nail fungus. Start soaking the feet in warm water with some white vinegar for twenty minutes per day. Scrub your nails with a soft tooth brush after soaking to remove any debris. Do not begin any oral medications until the pregnancy is completed. Do not take any oral medications while nursing. There are no real cure for fungus.

Relax: Keep your nails short and well ventilated. Do not wear sox in bed. Whatever treatment you do, it takes a year to grow a new toenail. Laser is OK if pregnant but costs over $1000 not covered by ins. Creams and lacquer are OK but are effective much less than 1/2 the cases, cost hundreds of $$$. Most effective is oral terbinafine for 3 months, works most cases, costs $10, but not to be used if preg
