      We find usually the #1 cause is repetitive trauma, the key can be trimming, soaking and using the nail file as much as possible before using medication. But be safe and do it with doctor supervision!

    Wanted to add two things that are working for me: drying the nail with a hair dryer after showering, and letting the nail get direct sunlight daily. Since fungi grow in dark, wet places, it makes since to do the opposite and do light and dry.

      @DrTomBiernacki  Рік тому +3

      Steven, thanks for the great response!
      We are grateful for your support. You are absolutely correct - nail and skin fungus growth is affected and impeded by sunlight, heat (but be careful to not burn your skin), good ventilation, and keeping affected area dry. However, it takes a longer time of repeated treatments to successfully eliminate fungus. Just remember that it takes about 6 months to grow new healthy nails on your toes.

      I'll add one more to your list to help cure the problem and prevent future recurrence; Expose your toe nails to the air and sun. Barefoot may not be the best solution, but sandals or flip flops can be worn whenever practical. Bare toes eliminates moisture and prevents heat build up. Sunlight and UV rays kill fungi and bacteria.

I know my mom and dad when I was younger took Lamisil I believe it was but that can cause liver issues so I don’t want to do that and I desperately need this fixed and I’m Wheatus using toenail clippers I have to use wire cutters just to trim them and I feel lost. I’m not gonna lie. I really hope one of these home remedies work because I need help.

    It's best to file down the nails and also treat them topically, from the outside, if taking the oral medications to attack the issue from the inside. I tried clearing my toenail issues twice with oral medications. The issue came back because I didn't treat the issue from the outside also. Some of the infected nail remained after the oral treatments, enough to cause it to spread again. Looking back I should not have trusted the doctors wholly. I should have been addressing the issue from the outside at the same time that I was trying to treat it internally with pills. Best wishes.

    • @chrisgraham2904
      @chrisgraham2904 Рік тому +3

      Filing down the nail is an absolute must. First, filing down the nail helps to return its' look and shape to something that resembles normal. Second, the top shinny surface of the nail will prevent topical solutions from penetrating into the nail to reach the nail bed. Even when you are well into the lengthy treatment process and you have the nail thin and looking "normal", you need to sand and abrade the surface of the nail about once a week, enough to remove that top shiny layer from the nail as you continue to apply the topical treatment.

    • @eventhisidistaken
      @eventhisidistaken Рік тому

      The oral treatments are horrifically bad for your liver. Do not use them unless everything else has failed first and you just can't stand it. Tea oil and an emory board work for almost everyone...lots of other topical solutions work too, epsom salts etc.

      I was just speaking to my father, who has toenail fungus on both feet, quite bad, or did at least. He has now cured it on one foot, and it's clearing on the other. He uses a UK product called Germolene cream. I don't know the ingredients, but it is an antiseptic cream, so maybe any antiseptic cream would work? It does make some sense, because antiseptics are supposed to prevent the growth of different microorganisms like bacteria and fungus. I looked up Germolene and toenail fungus on Google, and couldn't find a thing, other than one post, that looked genuine from someone who said it cured them. My dad applies it every three days, under the end of the nail after trimming them a little. I guess he could do it more often, but he showed me his foot and it looks 100% clear, the other foot still has it, but he says it's improved like the other did. Now one foot is clear, he's sown a little thread onto certain socks to mark them, so he doesn't wear the socks from his infected foot on the clear foot. And he puts a little antiseptic cream on the nail clippers after using them. I also have it on one foot, so I might try it, see if it works. It will take months to cure though, his did, I guess because you can only really hope to slow it down, stop it's growth, and wait for healthy nail to grow. I'm gonna copy and paste this comment and repost it on other videos, because it has worked for my dad, I've seen it with my own eyes, so I'll spread the word, good luck with it! One thing I would add, fungus likes moisture and darkness, he doesn't take his socks off much, or wear sandals inside, but I think that would make sense to do as well as keeping nails short, and using the cream.

    3) Soften nail by soaking it for 20 minutes using: 1Tbsp Epson Salt + 1/3 Cup Water + 1/3 Cup White Vinegar + 1/3 Cup bleach + 1 tsp Yellow Listerine (Thymol)
    4) Then Thoroughly Dry Nail with hair dryer, or use a heat lamp or even fire from a lighter (thermotherapy)
    5) shine UV light with one of those (covid?) sanitation devices.
    6) Mix as much BAKING SODA as possible to Vaseline+VicksVaporRub (Thymol) and apply this paste to the nail
    7) Apply 2 Drops of Iodine (Decolorized Povidone) + Tea Tree / Oregano / Clove / Garlic + Lavender Oil + Pro Clearz Toenail ‘polish’ (contains 1% Tolnaftate)
    8) Gently wrap to prevent any water contact

    Mine is very early stages. I think it’s fungus? My two big toenails have orange on the sides of them. Mostly towards the front. Doctor said do Vicks vapor rub every day for two months and file the nail down. That’s it. So hopefully I’m getting this early. He almost even seemed annoyed that I was suggesting. I need to do something to treat it lol. He said, I pay attention to symptoms more than other people. But it’s like you said, Better to get it before it turns into something worse. He’s probably just used to people coming to him when things are already bad.
    Is it true that I shouldn’t worry about using the same towel for my feet as I do for the rest of my body after a shower? Somebody said I need a separate towel. But from my understanding, if I was going to get fungus on my face or the rest of my body, it already would’ve happened by now if it’s only on my feet. Especially when I am addressing it right now wearing Vicks. I’m also once per week, applying my Clorox bathroom cleaner gel for a couple minutes before I start my shower.
    Also, they say it takes a year to grow out a toenail, but after my doctor visit two weeks ago, I trimmed the toenails. Then yesterday they were already long enough to where I needed to trim them again. And I mean it’s looking like the toenail clipping in your video, it’s not just a little bit. It was a normal amount. So I guess my toenails grow fast. But I was excited thinking I was going to be able to just trim off most of the orange. And I guess I did but I look at them and they still look orange.
    Does this mean I’m not getting proper circulation for my immune system to fight this off properly? My left calf is missing hair on the left side of it. Like mostly all gone. And I have bad varicose veins there. The doctor said he’s not worried about it. Excuse me? And I even told him my feet get cold or sometimes they feel like they are cold but they’re not actually cold. He was trying to shoo me out the door and he said well if we want to talk about that more, we will have to do another visit. After he literally just told me he’s not worried about it and I’m too young to do tests about my circulation.
    I just don’t see how these could not be related. I also told him how my fingernails, you can see the vertical lines on my fingernails when you couldn’t before. He just said that’s hard to diagnose. He didn’t really wanna talk about that either. I wasn’t trying to give him a list of things to worry about. I was trying to let him know all of my symptoms, so if there were any links, he could try and find them. I also have low TSH And it’s been low the past three times. I’ve done blood test. And it’s gone lower each time. But he swears my thyroid is fine because T4 and T3 is normal.
    Anyway, I don’t have blue toenails or anything. It’s just orange on the edges. It’s been going on for a few months. And now it looks like there is some black on the edges. Or at least a little darker. But when I put my fingernail under the toenail, to kind of lift it up a little bit, the toenail looks white. So maybe it’s under the toenail. It might just be gunk. Because now I use a toothbrush on my feet in the shower. Well, my big toes mainly. But the problem with that is I think the bristles getting in between the nails, is pushing the gunk deeper, I guess. I say gunk, but it’s not like this horrendous thing. I take care of myself, probably more than other people do to most people my nails probably just look like normal feet. But normally I can put my finger nail under there and scrape out gunk in the shower and everything is good. It seems like lately it feels like the sides of my toenails are glued to my toes.
    I thought it was weird that my doctor told me to also file my nail every day. I’m definitely not going to do that every day. He didn’t explain why. But now, after hearing that people, with bad cases have super thick toenails, come to think of it whenever I trim my toenails they do kind of feel extra crispy. I always thought that was weird like due to lack of circulation but maybe it just means the toenails are starting to thicken up a little bit. So I bought a pack of like 20 files for like two bucks. So I don’t really use any of them. Maybe a couple times a week I just file the nail down a little bit.

    • @switchunboxing
      @switchunboxing Рік тому

      On top of that, I am taking my Clorox bleach bathroom gel to my toes. Maybe once per week. Just putting the gel on the toenails and leave it on there for a couple minutes before my shower. Not sure if it’s helping but worth a shot.
      Plus, I was wearing the same pair of socks for four days in a row. But I work in retail it’s not like they were sweaty or anything. Maybe they were and I just never realized it. I mean my feet were not wet or anything. But I guess moisture isn’t always something that we can detect on our own. Now I’m wearing one pair per day. It kind of feels silly. Like after work yesterday I was like? I’m going to just throw these in the hamper? They felt like perfectly fine socks. But I guess especially now that I know I probably have toenail fungus, it’s better to take precautions.
      Not to mention, I cleaned out the shower floor with the bleach gel. Honestly, I hadn’t done that probably in like a year. And wouldn’t you know it, there’s actually orange around the drain. And the shower curtain liner. I might just get a new liner.
      Do you think it’s possible I can I am getting the fungus from my shower? So I guess cleaning the shower every once in a while will be a help as well. I definitely know there is crispy black mold that falls down from the plastic shower wall every now and again. I’m guessing it’s really bad Behind the plastic wall and that it just gets moist and falls down sometimes. I bet you if I lift up that plastic wall I’m just imagining an entire black wall but I could be wrong. That can’t be too healthy.
      Now I just need to find out why I get red dots on my skin sometimes. The doctor told me to just start taking Claritin every month. Again, he just seems annoyed. Any time I’m bringing up some thing I want help with. He just said he has no way of telling me what’s causing it. Well no shit. But I mean you could help me try to figure it out. Damn.

Finally went 2 months ago to a podiatrist who took a clipping and sent to a lab.. Came back no fungus or cancer. Prescribed 40% urea and sent me along my way. Since then one of my good nails started itching around the cuticle, turned black and fell off with blood underneath. Now my right toe is starting to itch and has a grey cast to it. Getting really getting frustrated. What should I do now?

    Great advice. I have one more tip, but don't say it will work for everyone. I'm very fit, don't smoke, 22 bmi, 64 years old, and I got the fungus, 2 big toes from the gym, probably the changing room. I tried a brand name paint on liquid which did work to some extent, but slooowwwlyyy...lol. So talked to my fitness consultant (ok, not a podiatrist I know) and she recommended applying Povidon iodine once per day as she had anecdotal knowledge that it works. And boy did it work for me. It absolutely wiped it out at double the speed of the over the counter liquid. Now, maybe as I'm quite fit, and other factors helped it work for me, so not saying it's a miracle cure, but Povidon iodine is really cheap and might be worth a try. I think there even might be a colorless one if you don't want the temporary staining. It might help, however, listen to the podiatrists advice!

      The highest rated over the counter remedies have tea tree oil and iodine. The iodine cause nail staining, which takes ~a year to grow out, but still better than the fungus. These work for sure, and do not cause liver damage like oral meds can, but you must apply them twice a day, and file away thickened nail, and do this for up to 2 months (usually 1 month, but to be sure).

      Probably, if you do it twice a day, but that could also cause other damage. the traditional medicines ( various tree and plant oils) work also, without risk, but they do require diligence to apply them twice daily for as much as 2 months.

    I know this video was posted a while ago. I just want some people to know that most iodine has shellfish as an ingredient it might not say on the bottle but that might be why some people are allergic to it I myself do not use iodine that has shellfish in it. I found an iodine on Amazon that’s colorless and has no shellfish but it is a little bit more expensive. You get a lot more. thank you for sharing

      Having recently read that white/colourless iodine works to destroy nail fungus, I also purchased some off Amazon.
      How is your treatment going & how soon does it take for the first signs of positive results to take effect?

    Every time I get out the shower, I go underneath my nail and scrape out the fungus and then apply tea tree oil. I hope this will help. 🥺
