General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Your symptoms are related to skin fungal infection.
Treatment include antifungal creams, liquids or sprays (topical antifungals) These are used to treat fungal infections of the skin, scalp and nails. They include clotrimazole, econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, tioconazole, terbinafine, and amorolfine. They come in various different brand names.I suggest you ketoconazole.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
-Apple Cider Vinegar. One of the best remedies for toenail fungus, apple cider vinegar can be used topically, internally, or both.
-Olive Leaf Extract taken daily as a supplement
-Tea Tree Oil,apply undiluted tea tree oil directly to the affected area and let it soak in.
-Apply Orange Oil.
-Baking Soda and Sodium:Mix equal parts borax powder and baking soda with just enough water to form a paste. Wet the area and gently rub the mixture onto infected area.
-Coconut Oil:Apply a thin layer of coconut oil to infected areas and let it soak in for at least fifteen minutes
-Lavender Oil: Apply a few drops of lavender oil.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
