The simple truth is that toenail fungus doesn’t go away on its own – it requires treatment in order to be cured. For many, however, this is easier said that done. Toenail fungus is considered a chronic condition that can resurface over and over again. The key to curing this ailment is to accurately diagnose the infection, apply an appropriate treatment early in the process, remain consistent in treatment, and to be patient throughout the whole ordeal because it can take months up to a year to completely abolish the problem.

Toenail fungus eats away at the keratin in the nail. Common characteristics include a thickened nail, yellowing/discoloration, cloudy surface appearance, and a continually weakened nail that may begin to tear or crumble – despite its thickness. In extreme cases, the affected nail may completely detach from the nail bed. It’s important to understand that some of these symptoms may point to a completely different issue, such as psoriasis or a bacterial infection. If you are unsure whether you have a toenail fungal infection, it is best that you consult a doctor. He/she may take nail scrapings to be sent to a lab for identification.

If you ignore a toenail fungal infection and allow it to reach advanced stages, you will not only experience most of the symptoms we previously discussed, but you are at high risk of developing permanent nail damage. There are a wide variety of treatments available, everything from anecdotal home remedies to aggressive oral medications or expensive laser therapies. Treatment can take several forms, including oral medications and topical solutions (e.g., gels, lacquers, creams). One end of the spectrum has remedies that are usually too weak to complete the job, while the other end has remedies that are very strong and may potentially cause dangerous side effects. Regardless, most folks agree that a middle of the road solution is best. There are several proven, effective topical toenail fungus treatments that work well to combat this problem. These treatments are preferred because they are highly effective at a low cost, and can be easily self-administered at home, without any inconvenient or costly doctor visits.

Realize that it can take months – not days, or even weeks – to combat this problem. You will need to remain consistent in your treatment. Develop a routine and stick to it. It may help to put this in your calendar, so that you can have a visual reminder. Always read the treatment product instructions carefully and administer as recommended.

It’s easy to get discouraged midway through treatment, because it is unlikely you will see any progress for weeks or months. Some people take weekly or monthly pictures of their infected toenails to compare later on, as a means of measuring progress. Feel free to employ this method if it will help keep you motivated. If you have not seen any progress at all for over 6 months, it is recommended that you try a different therapy or seek your doctor’s advice. You may require a different course of treatment.
