Fungus B Gone: Try tea tree oil 1-2 x daily under nail or Vicks vaporub at night. Dr. Haley suggests otc urea cream to soften the nail. May take 2-4 months before you notice normal nail by your cuticle. Treatment applied to your nail often doesn't work as well as prescription pills. Your toenail must be tested for fungus before pills can be prescribed. Also, treat any lurking athlete's foot. Slow going.

Use drying agents: Fungus infection of the foot skin and toe nails, is related to genetic factors. Injury to the nails, and sports and tight shoes and sweating feet, predispose to fungal infections. Oral treatmens for nail fungus don't work in everyone, and take a long time to work. Start by wearing good fitting shoes, and keeping your feet dry with alcohol , and buy lamasil cream, daily for a very long time.
