I’m embarrassed by my toenail fungus.
The Internet is full of supposed cures. I just keep trimming and filing and hiding them.
Has anyone had real success managing or curing it?
The "cures" found on the internet are snake oil.
Many years ago I had to deal with a case of toenail fungus, particularly bad timing when it is summer and one wants to show off pretty painted toes in cute sandals.
I saw a dermatologist, and if I recall correctly, he treated me with a prescription drug and a laser treatment. He also sent a sample to the pathologist.
Additionally, he gave me information on how to avoid future infections.
I researched it, too. Tried different things. Then I saw a website from a podiatrist in the Detroit area. He said Vicks Vapor Rub. Almost like, don't come in to bother us with it, just use Vicks.
It works for me. For different skin issues I've had success with [strong] Manuka honey, tea tree oil, peppermint oil, and for the toes, Vicks. I think it's the Eucalyptus oil. And with the vapor rub, its already diluted where as with, say, tea tree oil one must dilute it with something like olive oil so it doesn't burn a hole in your skin or something.
I've kept mine painted sparkly red for the past...hm...3 years? They always look shiny and pretty!
And for the record, I spend 95% of my time in guy mode.
My toes are always professionally pedicured and in women's sandals for everyone to see. Thy are usually OPI Big Apple Red (Hooker Red) or a bright pink. I present as a feminine male with a female hairstyle, and women's purse, and women's sandals. I get a lot of compliments from women on my pedicures and choice of color. Guy friends used to tease me about my girl toes and I would tell them that they are jealous.
