Im at Ckd 3b and got a toe nail fungus on big toe about 1-1/2 years ago. Then, it spread to other big toe before I found out it's pretty contagious. So, this is how i treated it along with my foot doctor . (1) bought a dozen pairs of white socks that I wore whenever I went to bed to prevent spreading it to other toes. (2) soaked both feet separately in vinegar for at least 30 minutes 2 to 3 times a week. I didn't delude the vinegar, but some people do (3);never used same socks when putting on shoes. (4) tried to wear open sandals whenever possible (5) brushed each effective toe with its own pumice stone every day in the shower.

Amazingly, after several months, new nails started to grow and here I am 1-1/2.years from start and its almost over. Nice long new nails grew out damaged ones.

Phew, it's an arduous task and because it's so contagious, its very difficult to cure. And, found out thst vinegar is a strong antifungal. Who knew. BTW none of the prescribed and OTC meds worked for me.

Good luck and be patient.

Hier ook. 3.5 jaar geleden getransplanteerd en nog steeds schimmelnagels!Heb een pedicureapparaat gekocht en smeer tenen in met een wratten-tentin.

Elke dag schuur ik er een laagje af.

De schimmel zit onder de nagel en is lastig te verwijderen. Weet ook niet meer wat ik moet doen. 🙈
