Toenail removal: However the nail fungus (which is what I'm assuming we're dealing with here) may return when the nail does. The drops can take 3-6 months because the nail grows slowly and the nail already damaged will not improve, it has to grow out and be replaced by normal nail.

Change treatment: There are a variety of medications used to treat toenail disorders. Natural and herbal medications are also commonly used without side effects. Consult a Podiatrist in person or virtually for the proper diagnosis and the best treatment options.

See a dermatologist: Begin with a definition of the problem. Fungus? Something else? If fungus, drops for a year are only 10% effective and are very expensive. Laser costs $1000 and can often yield a normal toenail 1 year later. TERBINAFINE pills for 3 months costs $10 and is about 60% effective if examined a year later. The pills are very safe. Herbals do nothing for any toenail disease.
