The latest thing around San Francisco (particularly for the long term
infections) is the use of a laser. I understand laser usually clears up
chronic cases in a couple of treatments and no drugs. If you can get it
early, alcohol or peroxide are a heck of a lot cheaper. If you use peroxide,
I would think 6% is the better bet than off the shelf 3% stuff. I believe
here in the US you have to ask the pharmacist to sell you 6%. (I get 6% if I
need it when I am in Asia, so I have no idea about getting it in the US.

Thanks for your concern but this isn't a problem for me.
I thought it might be useful information for anyone who may be suffering
from it. I believe hydrogen peroxide also works. They have subscription
medication for this but it is very expensive.
The most effective way to treat toe nail fungus is with pills. And the most
effective pill is terbinafine (Lamisil). But every patient seems to have
heard from somewhere that Lamisil "kills your liver". This is simply not
true. There is a tremendous amount of data and experience with Lamisil to
support its safety, or we simply would not use it. The biggest problem we
have with Lamisil is cost (it is about $10 per pill) and getting it covered
by insurance (many companies will not pay for it).

Painful, discolored nails are often the first sign of nail fungus infection,
or onychomycosis. The nails may thicken, smell bad, or become flaky, causing
discomfort to the sufferer. Nail fungus is caused by bacteria that form
under the nail, gaining access by breaks in the skin. Dampness encourages
bacterial growth, and can cause nail fungus to spread quickly. A home remedy
for nail fungus is rubbing alcohol, which is known for its sterilization
properties, and may be tried at the first stages of nail fungus infection.
