Manky toenails - the miracle cure : and under 4p per day!

My Case:
I damaged a toe a couple of years back and have had various infections (viral / bacterial / fungal) in the nail ever since. Have had surgery to track the source without success. Now have permanently distorted toe joint which makes shoe buying a PITA. And a nail that is lumpy with frayed edges and tags all over it.

Then I head that Vicks was what I needed.
Its combination of vaseline and VERY volatile antiseptic / antifungal oils has worked magic
once in the morning as I put my socks on (use old ones and accept that they will be binned in a fortnight) - smear the toenail over, under, round, with vicks

my nail in smoother by the day and will be able to be painted red again soon (BLISS)
but
more to the point, the oils in Vicks are MEGA strong and have killed ALL the infections in my nail
and I've used less than 1/20 of a pot in the last ages

give it a go - beautiful feet could be cheap ...

Oooh am going to try this! I've been treating a fungal infection in 3 toenails for about a year now but to be honest I haven't done it for the last 6 weeks or so. Just got fed up with the faff of it. Slicking on some Vick will be child's play!

Don't know if I should add this but DH has been known to swallow it when he has a cold - totally nuts! Grin
