But, if you are unwilling to take oral medicine, owing to the health risks, you MUST remove the part of the nail over the affected area, remove the junk below it, then apply a topical daily (home and over-the-counter). If one doesn’t work, try another, and another. Expect no less than 3 months to clear it up.

If you leave the nail in place, you are fighting a loosing battle. I found that out with prescription laquer, at $100 a mini-bottle!

Just buy peppermint oil, spearmint oil, oregano oil and almond oil, mix together in a separate dropper bottle in equal amounts, administer to the nails and under the nail as much as possible and you will see very fast results in the condition and appearance of your toesnails. Try it and see. A friend of mine told me of her success using these. I tried them and in just a few days, less than a week, I saw a distinct difference in my nails and wasn’t ashamed of other taking my socks off anymore in front of other people, right there and then! Of course, you need to carry on applying until it is totally gone, but believe me you will feel good within days about this remedy. I am eternally grateful to my friend for trying this, and passing it on to me after she had success with it.
