Has anyone had any luck treating toe nail fungus??? I hesitate going for treatment because I have heard so many negatives.

North Lakeland Foot Clinic - Dr. Pruchniewski - claims to be having success with laser treatment.

Thoughts, comments, hope???:pray:

It appears it is caused by a systemic fungus and if you choose to take the oral medication, it is a choice to ponder for awhile.

Have a friend who used Vicks Vapo Rub on the affected nail. Rubbed it on morning and night...it worked.

ORLANDO FOOT AN ANKLE CLINIC in Ocoee, FL did an excellent job removing toe
nail fungus for me. Dr. Cramer is excellent.---One time charge inclues all follow up
treatments. He uses a patented Laser treatment

I took an oral med for about six months about ten years ago. It cleared it up about 90%.

There is an article in the Orlando Sentinel this morning where an internist used vapor rub with success. His dermatologist recommended it.
