2nd opinion

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Any dermatologist can treat toe fungus which is clinically known as onychomycosis.toe fungus is curable. It may require medical treatment but there are positive things you can do to stop fungus
1-Use commercial anti-fungal cream.You can find products for the removal of nail fungus in a drugstore or a beauty supply store's nail care section.
2-Depriving the fungus of oxygen. This may stop the spread of the infection into new nail as it grows. One remedy is to coat nails nightly with vaseline. Only use this on a thoroughly dried toenail to avoid sealing in water that promotes fungal growth. Or, you can keep nail polish on them, especially at the quick, where new nail is forming.
3-Use sulfur powder. It's available in most drug stores as a non-prescription item, or look for it in the gardening department. You can also mix this with an over-the-counter anti-fungal powder.
4-Change the environment. Fungus is a growing, living thing, and by changing the environment that it lives in, you may stop its growth.
5-Wear open-toed shoes when you can, and expose your feet to the sun. If you can't do that, try wearing more spacious shoes, at least. Fungus likes warm, dark places—deny that, and banish the rot. If sunning, don't forget to use sunscreen to prevent sunburn.
6-Take foot baths. There are various solutions that people have tried that may work for you.
Soak your feet in water with vinegar added:
1/4 cup of vinegar with 2 liters of water. Do this every day for at least two weeks, then at least once a month.
7-Use orange oil. Another method is a five to ten percent solution of pure orange oil, available in garden and farm centers (not orange oil cleaner) in a mixture of vinegar and rubbing alcohol. Apply daily between toes, on and under toe nails.You can obtain a medicine dropper at a drugstore or Walmart.
8-Try other oils.As an alternative, you could use a few drops of tea tree oil, neem oil, thyme oil, or oregano oil. These can be bought in vitamin or health food stores
