Fungi Basics Any kind of fungus thrives in dark, damp, and warm conditions. Every time you take a shower, make sure you really dry off your fingernails with a towel, squeezing as much as you can. You want to get every last drop of water out. This is even more important if you take your showers at night, because it will be dark and the fungus will grow in the dark and damp.
Selecting a Treatment
The best nail fungus treatments are oral medications, or homeopathic treatments, to fingernail fungus. What homeopathic treatments do is enter your blood stream, go to the nail bed, and kill the fungus from the inside out. A lot of the time, topical treatments have to soak through the nail before taking effect, using a homeopathic treatment removes this inefficiency and kills the fungus faster. This is why most doctors recommend a homeopathic treatment, according to MayoClinic.
The Best Solution
The best way to kill your fingernail fungus as fast as possible is to use a topical treatment in addition to taking a homeopathic medication. There are topical treatments made from natural oils that can penetrate your nail cuticle and reach the fungi more easily than traditional creams can. Using one of these topical creams with a homeopathic medication can get you results in as little as two weeks.

∙ 12y agoDo You Actually Have Fungus?
The first thing you want to do before you try to treat your "fingernail fungus" is to make sure that it really is fungus. Fingernail fungus usually starts off as little white or yellow circles/spots/lines at the edges of your nails and then spreads. Over time the nail can become thicker, more brittle, and begin to loosen.
What treatments are there?
Now that you know you have fingernail fungus, you can start to look for a good treatment. There are plenty of topical creams and bleaches that come recommended for fingernail fungus. The problem is, any kind of cream or topical gel has to penetrate the nail before it can affect the fungus. The fingernail isn't very easy to penetrate, so these topical treatments end up taking more time.
The Best Solution!
The best thing you can do is to get a homeopathic/oral treatment of your fungus and use it in conjunction with a topical gel. This way you have medicine in your blood stream that kills the fungus from the inside out, while the topical gel works from the outside in. This is one of the most common doctor prescriptions for nail fungus. Just go to your doctor and get a prescription for an oral treatment. Or, if you don't want to spend the time doing that you can easily pick up a dual topical-gel/oral treatment online.
