    My cousin by marriage is a doctor. She told me to use tincture of iodine. It cost $1.45 and is the only thing I’ve found that does work. I rinse with hydrogen peroxide too.

    With the iodine, make sure it gets in the nail bed and re-apply several times. Good luck=) Give it a season to see results.

    Review the WEBMD information in the links below for topical medication treatment of toe nail fungus infections.

    **** How It Works
    Topical antifungal medications prevent the growth of or kill fungi.

    Why It Is Used
    Topical antifungal medications are used to treat fungal nail infections. Which medication is used often depends on the type of infection you have.

    Terbinafine may be used to treat fungal nail infections caused by dermatophytes, such as distal subungual onychomycosis and white superficial onychomycosis.
    Ketoconazole, oxiconazole, and econazole are used to treat fungal nail infections caused by dermatophytes and yeasts, such as Candida.
    Clotrimazole is used to treat dermatophytes and molds.
    Ciclopirox is used to treat fungal infection on the nail surface (white superficial onychomycosis).
    Topical medications are also used to prevent reinfection, to prevent athlete’s foot from causing a fungal nail infection, and after removal of a nail.

    *****How Well It Works
    Topical medicines may be used to treat fungal nail infections. However, they are not as successful as oral medicines in curing fungal nail infections.

    One review of research reports that ciclopirox killed fungi in about 30% of people who used it.1
    Using a topical antifungal around the toes after an infection is cured may prevent reinfection.2
    These medicines may be used when there are concerns about the risks of oral antifungal medication.
