A member asked:

Is there an easy and fast way to take care of foot fungus from pedicure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not easily: There is a good topical medication called formula 3 for mild-moderate nail fungus. Otherwise i tend to prescribe Lamisil (terbinafine) pills, which work fairly well. Avoid the whirlpool at the nail salon and bring your own nail clippers there to prevent re-infection.
