i was told by a ‘foot person’ to use sand paper to sand off the shiney top layer of my nail. Because that is what protects the actual nail bed. Then i soak a cotton bud/Q-tip with tea tree oil and dab it all over the nail and also as much as i can under the tip. been doing it for a while now and the discolouring has gotten a lot smaller over the 6 weeks or so.
Never heard the Vicks vapo rub one though.
So they tell me
????????????
no…it may make it worst…go to a dr and get med that will help you!
i don’t know but if you want a day off school /work rub a tiny bit on the side of your nose then tell evryone you have a really bad cold or hayfever lol
It apparently works for some people, although I don’t know how a topical cream would work to get under the nail; perhaps they’re more porous than I know. Or you rub it right where the top of the nail meets the skin and it gets absorbed underneath.
i’m 70 and vicks v r has been around longer than that. i have never heard that one, but of couse nobody tells me anything!
It’s hard for most anything to penetrate under the nails…
Sooooo?? Try soaking them in Listerine, I heard from a good source that this works
There is a doctor with a newspaper column – Dr Gott. He writes about this frequently. He says to rub it on twice a day and that it takes months to clear up.
I did try it and all it seemed to do was make my nail darker. I think oral medication is the way to go.
ha ha ha.. try "aunt Jemima"… it’s better…. hahahahahahahaha
I think tea tree oil works best for any kind of fungus; applied to cleaned and dried nails twice a day. The petroleum jelly in the Vick’s would just cause more of a breeding ground for fungus and bacteria. It takes a very long time to clear nail fungus as well. Avoid getting pedicures and don’t share any clippers or files with anyone until it is fully gone.
It did for my mother in law! She swears by it. She also says it gives her cuticles to die for!
Well the vapo rub seems to help. Tea tree oil is working the best, but still taking a while. I think the more of the nail you can get away, the easier for the medicine to get in there.
Actually since I have been drinking freshly juiced carrot and cucumber and orange juice – I have noticed my nail getting whiter and more normal looking from the base up. Amazing.
Not sure, but soaking your toenail in a 3% hydrogen peroxide, tea tree oil, grapefruit seed extract and water bath should clear it up. Mix about 1 cup of peroxide, 10 drops of both the tea tree and the GSE and 2 cups of warm water and soak your feet once a day. You can also soak just the nail in straight peroxide until clear.
