Effective Ways To Eliminate Bad Toenail Fungus

no toenail fungusWhen considering how to approach your toenail fungal infection treatment, you’ll find many options, including oral medications, topic antifungal drugs, home remedies and natural solutions. This chronic problem impacts millions of people, causing unsightly toenails, embarrassment and sometimes even spreading to fingernails. Something has to be done to stop it.

Symptoms include:

  • white, yellow or green discoloration near the edge of a nail
  • pain or soreness of the nail area
  • thickening of toenails
  • crumbling at edges of nail
  • abnormal or rough nail surface
  • scaly skin around the nail bed
  • separation of the nail from its bed
  • and other similar symptoms.

Here are some common ways to eliminate bad toenail fungus from your life:

  1. Systemic antifungal pills like terbinafine, itraconazole and clotrimazole. These are powerful medications with a long list of potential side effects, but their effectiveness has been proven. Still, they don’t always work for patients.
  2. Topical antifungal treatments like ZetaClear Nail Fungus Treatment. A topical treatment is simply painted on the toenails and soaks through to do its work. This may be supported with a natural, homeopathic dietary supplement.
  3. Laser treatments that heat and kill off the fungus, disrupting the cycle of infection and allowing the nailbed to heal so that fresh, new nails can grow. Options include Fox Diode laser therapy, Noveon-type lasers and Pinpointe-type laser therapy.
  4. Surgical destruction of nail growth. With the base of the nail destroyed, the nail fungus goes away, but nail growth is stopped as well, so this is used by doctors only in the most severe cases.
  5. Application of natural oils individually, like tea tree oil, grapefruit seed extract and others. Since supplements and topical solutions are available that include several oils and preparations in combination, it often makes more sense to use one of those.

People sometimes apply Vicks Vapor Rub, vinegar and other solutions to nails or take actions including hand and feet massage, but none of these have been proven effective against stubborn toenail fungus.
