I have ugly toe nail fungus since almost 3 years now. What can i do?

I have ugly toe nail fungus since almost 3 years now. I am just 31 years old and I heard that mostly old people get it. I can't wear sandales because it just looks so ugly and I am so jealous of people with nice clear nails. I already went to the doctor but she just said that there is nothing she can do since it's heredetery ( my father has it too ). The pharmacist at Walgreens told me that they have tablets (lamasil) which has to be taken at least 6 months. They cost 200 dollars a months ( insurance doesn't pay since it's ''just'' a cosmetic thing) and on top of it it can even harm the liver. He also said that it doesn't always help. Well I can't afford 200 dollars a months and I also don't want liver damage in exchange for clear nails. I also used a topical treatment but it also didn't help. It seem to stop the growing fungus a little bit but it never went away. Are there any other victims out there with toe nail fungus? Did anybody find a good treatment ? I would love to wear sandales again !!!! I am thankful for any advice.I have ugly toe nail fungus since almost 3 years now. What can i do?
I took two courses of lamisil and one course of sporanox without any relief from my toenail fungus. Then I started applying vicks vapo-rub to my toenail every day...right after my shower. I just used a tissue and rubbed a healthy blob on the nail and the surrounding skin. I did not wipe off the extra...just left it there (just put my socks on over top or just slipped into my sandals in summer). My nail is now growing out and the bottom half is healthy normal nail!





Please be aware, it takes a long, long time. Toenails grow slowly. I have been using the vicks for about 8 months now. I figure another 4 months and the nail will be totally grown out. Give it a try...it is working for me.I have ugly toe nail fungus since almost 3 years now. What can i do?
Soak em in peroxide like twice a day for weeks ,, then once a day from then on! peroxide is cheap and it works ,, you will be amazed! I do this just as preventative foot care,,
See a podiatrist. They specialize in feet and toes.
I just cleared up a bad case of toe nail fungus under my


right big toe...Took about 6 months..


Three or Four times a day, sit down, put your heel on the floor


with toes pointing up...Pour some 70% or higher rubbing


alcohol onto the end of your toe, let it soak down under the


nail....Pour a teaspoon or so a couple times so it soaks in


good....Keep the nail cut short so the alcohol won't have so


far to soak....Slowly but surely, it cleared up over about 6 months....
It's not just old people! I have done enough nail scrapings for a lab to know! Lamisil is bad for your liver, I have heard the Vicks and the tea tree oil do well, but both take a while to work.
I have had some success with tea tree oil, smells like turpintine but seems to be clearing it up.Good luck
sorry but it looks like you're going to have to amputate...it is the only way
