Fungal toenail

Can I get someone to treat my fungal toenail infection for me? I'm not normally squeamish about my body, but I'm really struggling with the sanding the nail down bit.

Any thoughts?

you need to get an anti fungal treatment from either your dr or pharmacist but its difficult because the cream doesn't go through the nail. a private podiatrist might do this for you, just ring around your local area.

I've used loads of creams and lotions and potions. The only thing I've found that works is oregano oil.
It's now in the process of growing out. I suspect i should put it on two or three times a day but once seems to be working

Thanks. Now I know to look for a podiatrist.

With the oregano oil, do you need to sand the nail down?

May sound obvious, but remember to wear gloves when sanding down - to avoid spread to fingernails.

No i haven't. Just put it on the nail
