Well, they make the most effective treatment -- prescription medications.

What are some simple, non-prescription ways to cure a blackened toe nail that is infected with a fungus?

I have heard of ';cures'; that range from using bleach to Efferdent. Any tried and true suggestions?What are some simple, non-prescription ways to cure a blackened toe nail that is infected with a fungus?
Well, one of the oldest remedies, (and one that still works today) is to really cover up the nail daily with mentholated cream such as vicks vapo-rub. It produces an anti-fungal and airtight environment which kills off the fungus that causes nail infection. Vasoline will also work, but the menthol-infused petroleum creams work better and faster...just a bit smellier. ;)





Used it on my father's toe...worked great!What are some simple, non-prescription ways to cure a blackened toe nail that is infected with a fungus?
Try to find *Dr G's Nails* it is a topical ointment that is put on, under, around the nail. I've heard alot of people say that it really works. I've not personally used it but from the testimonials I've heard it might be worth a try.

Start soaking your toes [and feet if necessary] in Listerine [or store brand] each night until fungus goes away - sure worked for me !!!!!
First of all, if you're 100% sure its a fungus, and not a bacterial infection, no ';home remedy'; will relieve this condition. You need to go to the doctor and get anti-fungal medicine. Either way, have your doc look at it before it spreads and you have a bigger problem.
First of all, are you sure you have fungus. Some other causes of blackened toe nail are subungual hematoma (bleeding under the nail due to trauma). Second, OTC medications do not work. You have to get under the nail to kill the infection. You are better off seeing a podiatrist if you really want to get rid of the infection.
The black is because of inflamation and maybe ristricted circulation?

How do you prevent nail fungus on the toes?

To prevent it, you should wear socks that let your foot breath and can absorb the sweat from your feet. Cotton socks are best. If you already have some sort of fungus on your toes, then you can use foot sprays like Tinactin. If it's more serious and your toe is in pain, not just itchy...I'd suggest you go out and buy some tea tree oil and apply it directly to your toes and around your toenails. It's a natural anti-fungicide which is pretty powerful. My girlfriend had foot fungus on her big toe and when she started using the oil, the pain went away in a day. Unfortunately, she treated the fungus too late and her nail is slowly falling off. A new one will grow back but it will take some time.How do you prevent nail fungus on the toes?
I can't offer advice to prevention but to get rid of it. Vick's vapo rub, just rub some in at night before bed and wear cotton socks on topHow do you prevent nail fungus on the toes?
After bathing or showering, dry your feet thoroughly before putting on socks and shoes. Sprinkle some cornstarch powder into your socks and into your shoes. Wear cotton socks (more absorbant and breathable than synthetic). Wear cotton or leather shoes (also more breathable). Change your socks and shoes once a day and use powder again. Get out of your socks and shoes when you get home and let feet get air.





The bottom line is that fungus loves to grow in warm, damp places. Keep them dry and you should be fine.

I developed a fungus under a gel nail and i'm thinking I might want to remove them.?

Or should i just let them grow out? I have had them for 3 years and haven't had any problems till lately.I developed a fungus under a gel nail and i'm thinking I might want to remove them.?
remove them, This lady at work has horrible nails caused by fungus under a gel nail.. she only had it on one nail but it spreed and now has it on 3 her nails are so ugly they are brown and chipped and it seems like they are not growing anymore.I developed a fungus under a gel nail and i'm thinking I might want to remove them.?
You need to have them removed. The fungus is breeding due to damp conditions under your nail and your real nail isn't allowed to breath. If you have just a regular fungus then treat it with Vicks Vapour Rub (it really works) It contains the same main ingrediant that's found in anti-fungal treatments, it's quicker to treat and cheaper! rub it on the affected nail twice a day with a cotton bud and the fungus will go away. Also if you don't treat it now, it will spread!
You should remove them right away. And see a doctor immediately so you can get a prescription -- this fungus will not go away without medication, and it will spread. I have seen people with really ugly nails from these infections. Please don't ignore this -- get to your doctor.
i do work experience at a nail salon, and they said that most likely its mold from air and moisture getting trapped under the nail, get them removed, and then use an antiseptic.
Uh oh fungus! I would remove the nail and let your nails air out. Fungus is very to treat and get rid of. You might want to go to your doctor and get some lamisil.



The best way to treat / cure up the fungus is to remove the nails and treat them with an anti fungal nail remedy (usually available at drug stores or wal-mart)


Good Luck!
Have them taken off at the salon asap! Let your nails take a breather. Fungus can cause a whole mess of problems it isn't worth waiting for it to grow out.
Try soaking it in Listerine mouthwash. My husband had a black and brittle nail, and it really worked! His nail is now growing back healthy.
this could be serious if not taken care of NOW.dont put it off.
