Fungus in toenail: Fungal infection of the toenails is called onycomycosis and can be treated by your doctor. The fungus should be cultured to determine the type of fungus because the treatments differ depending on the type. Typically there are both topical and systemic medications but they have to be used for a long time under supervision. Other treatments include laser, surgically or chemically removing the nail &.

Maintanence: Once you get it, you may never get rid of it completely, but the best treatment, according to the fda, is oral medication. I'd recommend getting a prescription for oral medication, after a blood test to check your liver function, and topical medication as well. Laser treatments are still experimental and costly out of pocket, but you can still try it if you have an extra $1000.
