  1. Hi,

    I've been battling a case of nail fungus for well over a year. It's affecting
    my left hand pinky finger. It's not only infected with fungus under the nail,
    but the tip and sides of the finger are also decaying (if that's the right
    word) because of the fungus.

    I've tried just about everything. I've used Tree Tea oil, I've used over the
    counter fungus medication, I've use vicks vapor rub, I've used hydrogen
    peroxide, and nothing seem to help. Nothing. In fact, a lot of these remedies
    seem to make the problem much, much worse. When I use Tea Tree Oil or
    Tinactin, the infected skin actually starts to dry up, crack up, and peel even
    more. I've tried to use some aloe vera as a way to alleviate the cracking, but
    it doesn't help much.

    I'm thinking about using bleach to get rid of this problem. A few weeks ago I
    did indeed use some bleach, I soaked the infected finger in bleach every couple
    of days, and it was more effective than other treatments. But I stopped using
    it because I was afraid that the bleach would cause some serious damage.

    I'm wondering, has anyone ever cured their nail fungus with bleach? I'm
    thinking about using it again, because nothing else seems to work. I don't
    want to go to the doctor because they prescribe that stuff that can damage your
    liver.

    Is there a safe way to go about this, by using bleach to kill this nail fungus?
    Should the bleach be diluted, and by how much? For how long should I soak
    the nail in bleach each day?

    regards,

    regards,

    Everything you have done is in-effective because of where the fungus is
    located. You could soak 24 hours a day 7 days a week and you would
    accomplish nothing. See a doc and follow his/her instructions to the
    letter.

  3. You could poison it from the inside out.
    I'm not suggesting you drink poison - maybe there is 'safe' fungicide out
    there that you can drink.
    That might do the trick.

    The list goes on...

    New oral anti-fungal medications recently approved by the FDA (Food and Drug
    Administration) may be the most effective form of treatment. These include
    itraconazole and terbinafine. Another drug, fluconazole, is used in some
    European countries but is not available in the U.S. These drugs need to be
    taken for only three or four months. A major problem is that after a "cure,"
    the infection tends to recur within a year or so.
