Toenail fungus, please help me how can I get rid of it? Panicking

[disgustingandashamed]

It is really distressing me today. I had it on 1 toe, tried over the counter blend thing of teatree oils with some other stuff, has not worked and now another toe has it.

I have a lot of autoimmune illnesses which are much more serious realistically but for some reason, the look of my two nails now has really upset me today.

It sounds stupid but I feel so panicky at the idea of it taking over all my nails. I currently have nice finger nails.

Today I can't stop thinking about contamination and how I will never be really sure if our apartment is properly clean now again? I feel like everything my foot touches is contaminated like the sheets and towels etc and I wash them on max temp to try to kill fungal spores but I feel so gross and filthy.

I can't take the oral medication that can affect liver and kidneys - what can I do instead that actually works? Or is the reality I will just have this for the rest of my life now?

Podiatrist was unhelpful as he didn't think it was that bad. But it looks awful and now spreading.

The laser (at a podiatrist) was an expensive waste of time. Terbinarfine tablets did the trick for me.

there is a terbinarfine cream as well that GPs can prescribe

Mine had sort of separated from the nail bed and I cut it all back as far as I could, which was pretty much the whole nail, then treated it frequently with OTC stuff. When it eventually grew back it was fine

My podiatrist puts it down to trauma. She said one of my feet is slightly longer than the other, pushing a couple of the toes into the top of the shoe, hence trauma and fungal nails. She files them down every few months so they look less unsightly and I paint them. Not that bothered.

She doesn't recommend the tablets though.

I had antibiotics from the GP. They made me
feel awful so I didn’t finish the course (it was weeks long)! Must have done the job though as for the first time in years I have lovely toenails.

Remedy For Nail Fungus - onlinecheappills.com/nailroxeu.html I've only used Nailrox for less than 2 months and I see big results...the fungus was bad really dark then the nails started to come off. They are growing back clear and healthy.

Laser treatment from specialist podiatrist - Google for one in your area. Expensive and over 6 weeks but worked for me - btw treatment doesn’t hurt.

I've been using Margaret Dabbs Foot hygiene cream on elderly parent's fungus feet and it works well. The big toe nail is growing out normally now and is pink at the base. I rub it into the whole foot and then smother each toe including under the nail.

You don't specify your autoimmune condition, but nail changes like this can be due to psoriatic arthritis rather than a fungal infection, they can look very similar but the treatment is different

Lamasil is the best OTC cure

I haven't RTFT but my husband had one for quite some time. He tried ALL the recommendations, he tried so many things people claimed worked but for him they didn't absolutely nothing.

Nothing worked until his GP prescribed him medication, pill form. I can't remember the name but he had to have a few blood tests to check his liver before treatment. It worked! Pretty sure it was a 6 month course but he now has a completely normal toe nail and has done for about 3 years now.

Autoimmune disease too and an opportunistic fungal infection took hold of two toenails during pregnancy. I've used Nailner 2 in 1 and it cleared out. It took months, but it worked.
