I currently have a toenail fungal infection. I used Penlac for awhile and thought I had rid myself of it but it returned. Recently I have been cutting back on the toenails with a very small pointed electrical type plier and using a soft pumice stone to sand the nail. What seems to help in softening the nails, almost dissolving them so that they are easier to cut, is Vaporub. I have nearly taken both toenails off to the root. So, currently I am applying rubbing alcohol, then the Vaporub, and cutting and sanding the nails. I suppose this is a less than sanitary way of debriding, and as I say it would not be for everyone, although the rubbing alcohol is helpful in cleaning the site. So far the effects have been pretty good, but time will tell.
