How do you get rid of fungus on the toenails?

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 TreatmentThe 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 SolutionThe 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.

Who do you see about a fingernail fungus?

You can go to your doctor if you want, but really you don't need to "see" anyone about your fingernail fungus. There are plenty of things you can do on your own. The only time you should see a doctor is if the fingernail fungus is a serious case (your nail barely hanging on and about to fall off).Basics of Fingernail FungusAny kind of fungus grows and thrives in the dark, wet, and warm. Steps that you should be taking to slow down your fingernail fungus growth before you even attempt to treat it include drying your nails thoroughly after showers. It isn't sufficient just to dry off. Take a towel and squeeze your fingers dry, making sure not to leave ANY moisture.Treatments of Fingernail FungusThere are plenty of creams and oils that you can get to treat fingernail fungus, and most of them do work. They do, however, work relatively slowly because any topical treatment alone has to penetrate your nail before killing the fungus underneath it. What doctors recommend is a Homeopathic treatment where medicine in your blood kills the fungus from your nail bed, the fleshy part of skin under the hard outer nail.The Best SolutionTaking a homeopathic treatment in conjunction with a healthy topical cream derived from natural oils and speed up the process to the point where you can have significantly improved nails in a couple of weeks. Just use a topical cream in addition to a homeopathic treatment.
