How do you get rid of toe nail fungus?

My toe nail is thick and yellowish. I went to the doctor and got a prescription but it cost too much. Doc said to use Vicks. i've been using it for about 8 months but it dosent seem to be helping. Anyone know anything else to use?How do you get rid of toe nail fungus?
Hi Paul... here is the cheapest and very effective way to get rid of toenail fungus. Buy a pint of white vinegar at the supermarket and put it on your toes twice a day and after each time you swim or shower. Make sure the vinegar touches the cuticle of your nail (that is where your skin meets your nail).





I cured my toenail fungus this way years ago. I used a Q-Tip to apply it but you can also use an eye dropper.





After a few weeks of doing this, you will see healthy nail growing in below the infected nail. Keep doing this for 3 months and you will be cured.





Good luck!How do you get rid of toe nail fungus?
Most treatments are either systemic antifungal medications such as terbinafine and itraconazole, or topical such as nail paints containing ciclopirox or amorolfine. There is also evidence for combining systemic and topical treatments.
I am NOT sure about this but if I remember correctly places like Walmart sell anti-fungal tinctures without a prescription. Walmart normally has a whole aisle where they sell products for the feet (of course). I think I saw this tincture (a liquid in a small bottle) once. So, good luck!





Also, fungus thrive in warm and moist areas. So, after your showers make sure you thoroughly dry your feet and use only cotton socks because--unlike synthetic materials--cotton absorbs the sweat that we normally produce during the day and does not leave your feet moist and susceptible to further infection.
