In addition to soaking your feet in a tea tree oil bath 2 X daily,  Eat plenty of live acidophilis (yogurt) to replace the good bacteria in your system.  Avoid sugar in your diet.  Fungus feeds on sugar.

I would say that you should ask a doctor or find something that says that it is ok for you on the lable rather than trusting any medicine that somebody on here tells you.  But i guess you could ask a doctor or check the bottle of any suggestions you get.

Buy gynelotrimen.\nIt's MUCH cheaper than the foot creams, and it is EXACTLY the same medicine.

Take Alieve, and don't put any weight on your toe.  Stay off of it as much as possible.  It'll take a few days to start feeling better.

OMG! I have the same thing...sucks huh? I'm about to go educate my doctor on it. I made a pillow-but you can use a sock,fill it with rice and microwave it. get a prescription for clindamyicin-it a topical lotion that dries them out-its made of mostly rubbing alcohol. good luck...I'm in so much pain right now casue I have one in between the two holes in the crook of my leg-it makes me feel so disgusting.

The listerine idea sounds interesting.\nVicks vaporub is also suggested as a natural remedy. (all the prescription drugs have not worked for my toenail infection of the fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes). treat the nails twice a day, every day. For about a year. That long because new nail has to grow out and the old nail be eventually all cut away. Otherwise the old nail will reinfect the new nail.

Go have your doctor take a look at it so that she can give you a proper prescription :-)

Put some alcohol on it. The kind you use to clean up cuts and stuff. Can you imagine the nastiness. It'll really help. It helped me and i used to be addicted to it! And i used to bite my nails to the point where i would bleed. And it helped me!

If they are not stocked at the pharmacy why not go and get them prescribed from your doctor.  You really dont know what you're getting off the net and you could be taking something dangerous or addictive. xx

A home remedy is clear nail polish. It works. A doctor might prescribe atarax.

Talk to your doctor for a prescription....over the counter stuff could cause problems.
