A few: However I do not believe these measures to be able to cure nail fungus, patients have reported some improvement in the appearance of the nail if used over a large period of time: vick's vaporub listerine mouthwash tea tree oil a podiatrist can offer much better treatment options, but if you want to give them a try there is little chance of harm and do not cost that much.

Many: There are mane over the counter fungal products at the drug store. I have had people soak in listerine, apply vaseline, apply pieces of banana peel.

Several treatments.: The reason you hear so many different treatments for toenail fungus is because there is no perfect, sure-fire treatment that works 100% of the time. I've seen vaporub work, as well as other natural oil remedies, but rarely. You can also try laser therapy, antifungal creams, paints, or even oral medications if your doctor deems you healthy enough to take them.
