Does toenail fungus ever go away? I know...gross.?

It just keeps getting worse, but I don't want to go to the doctor. Is there ANYTHING that will cure it?Does toenail fungus ever go away? I know...gross.?
you cant do much of anything on your own...i would definitely go to a doctor and get them to check it out b/c it can get so bad and eat away your toenail and spread to other parts of your bodyDoes toenail fungus ever go away? I know...gross.?
toenail fungus go away only if you take proper treatment.


1.avoid wetness of toes


2.dont use socks etc.


3.take oral griseofulvin in therapeutic doses


minimum 6 weeks.You may need longer period also.


4.local antifungal(tolnafatate)
Put Vicks Vaporub on it twice a day........I would not bandage it though. Another possibility would be tea tree oil.......buy at a health food store.
Just go to your local pharmacy and look in the nail section. There will be a gel or polish you can use that is anti-fungal, and it will clear right up.
I've read over and over again on the Dr. Gott column in my newspaper that many people have had great success with Vicks Vaporub. Put it on the nail once or twice a day and it will eventually clear up. I don't know any more than that but I'm sure you could type it into yahoo and get more info.
yes it will go away if you cut your toenail short as possible and very often. clean it with salt water and try to avoid your feet from sweating too much
you need an anti-fungal cream


if you cant find one over the counter... get RAW garlic...


Garlic is a natural anti-fungal


so eat (fresh) garlic on everything you can and also mash a clove or two and put it on the fungus daily... that should kill it


good luck
If its under the nail, you have to goto a doctor. I mean you can try soaking your feet in bleech for like 10 minutes for a week, but if its under the nail, its not going to help it. The only thing that has been proven to help fungus under the nail is prescription medications such as Lamasil (tablets, not the over the counter sprays or creams).
a podiatrist told me that NO topical treatments will work, it must be treated internally via prescription pills (lamisil, i think)...i have had it go away on its own, when i was younger...he said it was because i had an incredible immune system, and it will not go away on its own as i get older (and he was right...it's here to stay now)...i won't take the medicine for it, the side effects aren't worth it to me...i just keep those suckers polished! as far as being embarrassed about it...the same podiatrist also told me that if you live to be elderly...you will almost certainly get toenail fungus before your life is over...nearly everyone gets it in old age...
