MrTed46 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 My big toe is a shade of yellow (very light) compared to other toes...both big toes actually. I guess I should go to foot doctor but I was wondering if there is any over the counter stuff I can try before I go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Agent Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Toe fungus is so hawt. The only thing that I know of is that prescription stuff you see on the commercials. Since it's under the toe nail, I'm not sure anything over the counter would kill it. I'd go see a doctor and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wolf Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Your toe nail will eventually fall off. Can you overnight it to me? Dibs! Classic TimC... Have you had athlete's foot recently? If you have an unchecked case, the fungus can spread to your toenails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiley Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) I took a pill for 6 months and it cleared it up. I played quite a bit of sand volleyball a few years ago and caught some weird nail fungus from getting sand in there and not cleaning underneath the nail enough - yellow, smelled horrible, would break off, and might even have oozed a little. Enjoy your lunch fellas! ETA: I tried all of the over the counter stuff and they never worked. I think the pill was called lamasil. Expensive as hell though.

Cunning Runt Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Yeah, I seem to recall that I had to get liver tests while taking it. You do. And, if I recall correctly, this is not an "insurance-covered" medicine as it is considered "cosmetic". A home remedy that I've read and heard works is using Vick's vapor cream on it for a period of time (a few months). I've seen doctor's acknowledge this form of treatment. A couple times daily. Don't ask me why this might work, but apparently it does...or has on many others anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you ARE better looking than me, but just your toenails. Pretty sure I gotcha on the rest. Edited June 11, 2008 by Cunning Runt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackass Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 i've had this for many years. insurance doesn't cover it, i've heard about bad side effects from lamasil and it doesn't bother me so i just live with it. I actually damaged my toenail pretty severely last year snowboarding and when it grew back it mostly went away and is now only on a small portion of the toenail and doesn't seem to be spreading. So you may just want to chug some whiskey and take a hammer to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
