The worst kind of nail fungus treatment to try is a nail fungus home remedy. Nail fungus home remedies, like any kind of home remedy, have never been scientifically proven to work. Since home remedies are just ideas that people come up with because they think they might work, they never do end up working. While a long list of nail fungus home remedies exists on the internet, it would be a good idea to ignore them.

Nail fungus home remedies will definitely not completely get rid of your nail fungus. If you see any kind of improvement at all you are probably just imagining it. At best nail fungus home remedies will just help you keep your nail fungus from spreading further. At worst some of the nail fungus home remedies you might try could actually harm you. Bleach, for example, is one that you’ll want to avoid for sure.

Luckily for you, there are lots of other nail fungus treatments on the market. Some of them work better than others. All of them work better than nail fungus home remedies. If you want to try a nail fungus treatment that actually has the potential to get rid of your fungus, seek out a foot doctor who can help you. Foot doctors such as podiatrists are experienced when it comes to treating toenail fungus, so their advice will be much more valuable to you than trying out home remedies.

Laser Treatment for Toenail Fungus

If you have caught nail fungus, it can be easily treated using the FDA-approved PinPointe laser, which typically only takes on treatment. Other treatments like topical solutions and oral medication are not as effective. Topical solutions have a very low cure rate. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way through the nail bed. Oral medication is not recommended by our nail doctors. This is because it can lead to liver toxicity. You would need to have consistent blood tests throughout the course of taking the medication.
