Finally Got Rid Of It
posted by J. McGhee on 13 Feb 2011 at 9:24 pm
I've had athlete's foot for years, starting as an itch and small blisters on the toes with clear fluid inside. In the last couple of years, my big toenail started to separate from the skin under the nail and this reached down to the very root of the toenail. I went to a podietrist to have this treated. I was very surprised by what he told me. He said "I can prescribe internal medication, but this can endanger your liver.
What's safer than internal medication is this: apply Vicks Vaporub over the entire surface of the infected toes, with special attention to the surface of the nail and the root of the nail. This is a slow treatment, but very effective. Keep this up until the nail becomes clear and the separated nail grows out completely." I did as he said and even used the Vicks Vaporub on the entire skin surface of my feet. This completely cleared up the discolored and separated toenail as well as curing all foot odor and I continue to use the Vicks Vaporub on the entire surface of my feet up to the ankles, especially when I feel an itch. It also exfoliates dead skin and callus. The active ingredients of Vicks Vaporub are: camphor, menthol and eucalyptus.

I have had it for a few years now and have had no luck at getting rid of it. My mom has it and my grandmother had it, my grandmother had her toenails removed a few times and they always came back thick and discoloured. I have also heard that taking the oral medication damages your liver, so why take something that will cause more damage to your body and is more of a health risk just to cure something without a health risk. I know that its not my choice, I think I will try the vicks treatment and see how it goes even if it does take longer.
