Fungal nail infection!

Apologies in advance and please don’t read if you’re squeamish. It’s revolting. I would really love to find some medical advice though.

Can I ask if there is anyone in the medical field who can help with awful fungal nails? Sorry it’s a disgusting topic. I did ask my gp years ago but they said they can’t do anything because it’s not a serious issue. More aesthetic. I do understand that but I’d love to get rid of it.
I’ve lost one toenail which is now not growing properly. Also the skin on that toe is affected too. Now the other foot is affected. The big toe nail just dropped off completely. I didn’t even know that was affected. It is very much affected. Then the toe next to it has gone exactly the same with skin affected too.
I have used the vinegar soaks, the vicks rub, nailer painted on. All for long periods but have never seen any improvement. I’m also not wearing closed shoes or sweaty conditions. I have been open toed shoes/ bare feet for most of the past year.

Anyone have any miracle cures?

I had this and the GP gave me tablets that I had to take for 6 months. They made me feel a bit but definitely did the trick! this was about 6 years ago and no return of the fungus (touch wood!)

I haven’t tried emtrix no. And I haven’t heard of quite a few of these treatments so I will have a look. Thank you. I have nailner and another otc but I can’t remember which one. They’re all expensive but I suppose it’s well worth it if something actually works! It’s so embarrassing.
