Vicks vaporub: Anecdotal evidence that rubbing Vicks vaporub into the affected nail every night can help. Since nail grows so slow, you have to give it 12-18 months to see the results. Otherwise oral Lamisil (terbinafine) for 3 months with same amount of wait time to notice results.

Oral treatment: Toes nail fungal infection, aka onychomycosis, requires oral anti fungal treatment. Topical anti-fungal creams are not able to penetrate into the deep nail bed tissue where the infection lives.
