Hi,I have the same problem.My family doctor reccomended vicks vapor rub.Put it on your toe nail 3 times a day.It usually takes about 12 thru 18 months before it gets better.Good luck to you.Raven33.
I know I hate it, because I loved getting pedi's. But now I'm too paranoid to get them done anywhere. I just stick to doing my own toes now.
I had to stop getting pedicures for that reason too. it takes forever to grow out!
Sounds right to me- I had to get a RX for Lamisil after I got toenail fungus. It seems like mine appeared a couple of weeks after getting a pedicure, but that's not the only way it is spread. The topical stuff won't work as well, but I have heard that using Vick's Vaporub on your toenails will help. Don't ask me how- but it wouldn't hurt to try it.
I'm pretty sure it's "Lamisil". I think you have to get a prescrip from the doc for it.
Do you always have your toes painted? If I use a dark color on my hands or toes, it will make my big toe very yellow....you can buff it out..Good luck.

Hello I too have the same problem. It's toe fungus. Usually you have to get a prescription like Lamisil to totally take care of it and then you have to wait for your toe nails to grow out. It pretty much sucks. Good luck!
All I can think is about that commercial where the little bug lifted up the toenail and "created a home there". But for the lide of me I can not remember what the condition was called. All I can remember is that there is a pill that you can take thay will make it all better! Sorry I can't help more do a google search and see what you find.
