thanks for all the information…i just put some vinegar on my nails a minute ago and think I will try this. -I don’t have the yellow thick nails, but my nails crack in the middle (splitting the nail), they sometimes itch and sometimes burn-I have them on my toes and also on my left thumb nail and my right “pointer” finger. Everytime one of those nails starts to grow out, it splits or peels. I asked my dad to put me on an oral medication since he is a physician and he said the oral meds are way too hard on your liver-I think it’s the only time my dad has sort of said “No way”- He is usually great about getting me antibiotics, Reina-A and some other prescription meds when I have described symptoms so I don’t have to go to the doctor, but he was pretty insistent that he didn’t want me on oral meds for a fungal nail deal. He told me to buy the creams over the counter or to try anything other than the oral medications. Hope this works because I am at a loss of what to do and it seems like the fungus is slowly moving from one nail to the other…..Thank you for all the great info! Kathy

i have a fingernail fungus in all of my nails right now, and its driving me crazy!! the doctor put me on fluconosol, and i have been on it for a month now, only to be grossed out by the blackness around all of my nails the first day after taking the medicine, (can only take it once a week), so i have cut, filed, picked and poked all of my nails til they are clean, and really sore!!! I am so fed up with this fungus, I am going to try the vinegar too, to see if it helps, my question is, how do i keep my fingers from being so dry? they are so dry now, they are cracking and splitting, and i know if i keep it moist, the fungus will continue to grow.. so i’m in a crappy situation.. plus i work as a waitress and constantly have to wear gloves and wash my hands, also its harder for me to get rid of this, you have no idea how embarrassing this is, and how I just want to throw myself at the mercy of a nail salon, and have them cover this nasty stuff up!! I have never in my life had anything like this, and it really stinks!!

dale, i tried using lamisil for a while and also canesten creme…its kind of hard to get under the nails properley…

i had a fungal test done on my nails that came back negative, but i was using lamisil cream on them at the time, so even though it didn’t cure them, it still produced a negative result on the test for me, and the doctors didn’t take me seriously!

6 years later, i am still trying to bumble my way along looking for a cure, as i have gotten no help from the medical profession.

i think i have a yeast infection under my nails though, as the nail stays perfect and intact, but it gets red and seprates from the skin underneath.
while my nails are cut right back, it doesn’t appear, but as soon as i allow them to grow any length ,the process kicks off…

i am so frustrated!

i don’t know if the vingegar works?
i have been using it for months once a day, before bed, and it hasn’t cured it…
should i keep trying it?
would it possibly be worse if i didn’t use it?
if i just keep using it a little longer, will that make the difference?
or am i just wasting my time?

i don’t know….

Has anyone had any success with using Lamisil cream?

Thank you for taking the time to share this.

My mom had a toe nail fungus and the doctor wanted to put her on Lamisil too and she is almost 70. I didn’t think it was a good choice. Her nail technician gave her something and it cured her fungus. I don’t remember what it was but I will bet it was your vinegar solution.

Thanks so much for sharing!

I had gone to a dermatologist a few months back. I was at the end of my prescription polish so I was hoping he would give me another. He told me to stop the treatment until we got the results back from the lab – which was 6 weeks away. So not by choice I stopped using the polish and called to follow up a month later. They said the test was negative. I called my Dr. and she gave me repeats of the prescription, saying that the polish was probably working and that’s why it was negative.
During the time I stopped, my toenail has been really hurting and feels ingrown on one side. It gets swollen, too. So I covered it up with nail polish because I had to go to a wedding, but I’m going to uncover it and start the treatment again. I did notice a change – the bottom of the nail was coming up clearer. I told that dermatologist that and he didn’t listen at all.
Is Nonyx only a USA thing?

HI,

I have read all your great advice and I have one question. Is a paste from Baking soda and white vinegar effective?

Thanks
