I have had this increasingly white, thick, yellowing big toe nail for over a year. Doctor blames my habits, says I should wear socks less and breathable shoes. I have done so and it still got worse. Tried mycota paste, Epsom salts, filing it down. Nothing works. Previously had a fungal infection and had topical medicine that worked great. What can I do to convince new doc to give me it?

fungal infection most likely, you can buy otc tinticure you paint on like nail polish but you have to do it for like 6 months for it to work. I had it on one of my big toenails.

Won't hurt you, probably won't spread either, but it's unishgtly. it's like the pill too, you have to do it everyday without fail for months and months for it to work.

That's your basic nail fungus. Most paint-on treatments don't really work, but can keep it from spreading. Oral anti-fungal pills take six months or more, cost thousands, and come with something like a 20% chance of liver damage.

Other than being ugly, there's not harm to it. Leave it be. Sometimes they fix themselves without treatment.

This. I have fungus now. At one point it was on all of my toenails as a kid (serves me right I used to steal other kid's shoes), anyhow I got ringworm one year and took the meds for that for like 2 months and it had the side effect of mostly curing up my toenail fungus. Now I only have bad fungus on two of my nails and mild fungus on both big toes. Better than them all being infected. I've tried the vaporub method but that's waaaaaaay too long of a commitment for me. Even that six months of meds though sounds annoying as hell.

Vicks Vaporub. Put it on your toe at night (really slather it and use plastic covering if you want). Works for a lot of people (you can google it) and is pretty cost effective. I think it works better than any other over the counter fungus cure. The big thing though is you have to be consistent because it takes time. Not days, not even weeks for bad cases, but sometimes months. So do it often (and trim your toe nails).
