A member asked:
My toenail got ripped off and grew back short thick & yellow. what's a working cream or medicine to use for over the counter? most effecting please!!!

The problem here: Is you need to know if the toenail became fungal or if that nail is thick for other reasons..I.e bacterial colonization or subungual keratinazation. A thick yellow stubby nail is not always fungal. Topical meds for fungus are not highly effective either. If your inclined to try one you can but you will be applying for many months duration & 1 is not necessarily better than others.
