Find a good topical cream that has natural oils in it. Natural oils are not only healthier for you in the long run, but they can penetrate your nail better and kill the fungus more effectively. In addition, you should consider taking a homeopathic treatment for the fungus. These are what doctors usually recommend to patients that come to them with nail fungus problems. Homeopathic treatments are ones that you can take orally and that enter your blood stream. They are completely safe, just like a mild form of antibiotic, except they are designed to kill the nail fungus you have. Homeopathic treatments attack the fungus from the flesh under the nail, giving them more direct access and speeding up the effects. Hope that helps
