Do not listen to the person that said Vicks Vaporub is a cheap solution to toenail fungus. I know from experience that nothing topical works. I had toenail fungus for over 10 years I tried countlessways to get rid of it to no avail. I am now on an oral medication which I'e been taking for close to 3 months and for the first time in over 10 years I am seeing my toe nails back to normal, but I must continue to take for 2 1/2 months more for a total of 6 months.

Does bacitracin clear nail fungus?

No. Bacitracin is an antibiotic for bacteria, not for fungus. For a nail fungus infection you need an oral (systemic) medication such as Lamisil tablets. Those who don't want to risk its side effects usually try less effective anti-fungal creams. Some believe that other remedies also work such as vinegar, vicks vaporub, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine bleach or Tea Tree Oil. Some work for some people, nothing works for everybody.

How rigorous is nail fungus treatment?

Nail fungus treatment does not have to be rigorous or even painful. You can either be treated for nail fungus by oral medication, a special polish to get rid of the fungus, other topical medications, or only in extreme cases by surgery. Oral medications are the most common treatments for nail fungus. However, depending on the severity of the fungus you may be eligible for surgery, which removes the nail completely allowing it to grow back new.
