A member asked:
My husband has toenail fungus, is there an easy way to get rid of it besides going to the doctor?

No: Toenail fungus (onychomycosis) is a common condition but very difficult to eliminate without professional treatment.Many other nail diseases mimic nail fungus. Only a professional can properly diagnose you. Prescription topical medications are of limited success. Oral medications have a better outcome. Laser therapies are being used more often, but with mixed results so far.

Likely not: As oral meds and or laser are the most effective treatments.

Probably not: I am unaware of any over the counter product that has great success...If you can find formula 3 online it is used twice daily and if it has not resolved the issue within 6 months it likely won't...The dr can do a nail biopsy testto determine if it is a fungus, yeast, mold, or bacteria...They are not all treated the same and there is no product that kills all four...Sorry.
