Q. My husband has toenail fungus on all ten toes. They are really nasty looking.
We have spent $900 on three rounds of pills to treat the fungus, but it still looks the same.
Do you have any suggestions? I sure don’t want to catch it myself! Thank you for any information you can send.
A. Although pills such as itraconazole (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral) or terbinafine (Lamisil, Terbinex) may work against nail fungus, they can be expensive and they may cause serious side effects.
The home remedies we suggest have not been studied scientifically, but they work for many people. Because they are inexpensive, if one doesn’t do the job, your husband can try another.
We are sending you our Guide to Nail Care with instructions on using Vicks VapoRub, hydrogen peroxide, Listerine and vinegar and other topical remedies to fight fungus.
