I have read that white vinegar and also vicks vapor rub is very good to put on for toe fungus. my toe is not that bad but i do not want to take the medication .would you believe this would work those two options?

No. I see no likelihood that either would do anything but stink up your toe.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. You do not need to take the medication orally or by injection. Apply an antifungal cream, available over the counter, to the affected area. If it does not respond in a week or so, see a doctor as it may not be fungal infection. Wish you good health!
