Podiatrist wants me to use script antifungal 2x daily = costly. Does anyone have any luck on curing foot fungus with this?

No. But it may help slow down fungus. Podiatrist, dermatologist, primary care physician I've talked to say there's no cure, unless some expensive treatment is done . This is not expensive since you're only putting a small amount of cream on at a time.

Norma, I have been going to a doctor for nail fungus and have learned there is no cure for nail fungus. Certainly, you can put nail polish on your nails over the fungus.

One for each foot. I bought one at a podiatrist's office about 1 1/2 years ago and it was $6.00, so good bargain for me as my podiatrist is quite a distance from me. Good luck & hope it works!

I do not believe it should be!! Due to the nail polish could be causing the fungal. Especially with older polish. Or wait two hours and try it on one nail. The see what happens. Everyone may have a different type of fungus??

Of course--that is the main use of oil-of-oregano. The main thing that you and everyone else must understand is that this is NOT to be used without at least a 2:1 ratio of olive-oil and oil-of-oregano. If you put this on your skin or internally at full-strength, you WILL have problems immediately, so just be smart and understand that this is NOT an already prepared mixture of olive-oil and oil-of-oregano, but is PURE oil-of-oregano, with an average percentage of carvacrol at 84/5%, which is very close to the most that you are able to purchase, anywhere. What I have found is that applying the mixture to nail fungus and to itchy patches on the skin, destroys the infection, and after about five days of applying twice per day, using coconut-oil until fully-healed is the best way to use this product when not needed for infection, internally. Now, nail-fungus may need longer to treat, but from my experience about one week of two applications per day is what worked for me.

Their website lists no anti-fungal ingredients. It contains: citric acid, isopropyl alcohol, sodium benzoate, urea, glycerin, panthenol. They say it "creates an environment unfavorable for the growth and spread of fungi, by lowering the nail's pH balance."http://www.scholl.co.uk/home/foot-care/nails/perfect-nails/fungal-nail-treatment.aspx#sthash.JVzmurfK.dpuf

I'm no expert but ringworm is a fungus while this spray is more of an antiseptic. I've had success with products for athlete's foot on ringworm if applied several times a day.

Lemon Essential Oil worked on my plantar warts! It took 6 weeks. I applied every morning and every night!

I am not entirely sure it would actually cure the fungus, but I tell you it is so soothing. I love this stuff and soak in it in the tub as often as I can. I dont put a huge amount, way less than a capful. I would definitely soak my sore or infected feet in it. My Aunt in London used it for all sorts of antiseptic purposes. I can attest to Dettol curing a lot of infections in my household.

I have a significant nail fungus problem. Have been using Podiazole for 7 months. My nails look much better and I'm happy for that, however I don't think this medicine actually kills or eliminates the fungus--but the cosmetic improvement is excellent.

I used it for a month all along the toe nail bed and the nail itself! I followed the directions however, this product made my toenail fungus even worse! GOOD LUCK! Hope it works for you.

I used it on my toenails and they cleared in just a few treatments. I was only bothered with two toenails; however I keep some in medicine cabinet and if I feel my nails are starting to get the fungus again, just a couple days and it is gone again.

Yes but you have to be very persistent. Use a big file and file the bad stuff off every night. The fungus needs to be exposed so the liquid gets on it. It's hard but it does work. The best solution is this plus Lamisil but I can't take it unfortunately. Good luck.

I use this for lawn fungus. I don't believe it will cure your problem. Go to the biggest nursery in your area and ask them to reccomend something. They will probably be familiar with your situation.

Generally people dont need padding to "cure" PF they need arch support. Superfeet makes a much better over the counter arch support then Dr Scholls (who make the general public think padding is what cures foot pain which is incorrect for the most part). Custom is always best obviously, but I know they can be very expensive and the majority of insurances do not cover them. There is also the possibility that if this is a chronic condition, a more involved process such as a nerve entrapment, is taking place. I would suggest finding a local podiatrist who can offer injections to help with the inflammation along with a few other modalities.

There is a good book "Olive Leaf Extract" by Dr. Morton Walker which discusses the use of Olive Leaf Extract for fungus in general. I am not sure about nail fungus but the book is another good reference.

I am reasonably certain that using nail polish would defeat any benefit of fungal nail treatment - you would be sealing the fungus in -counterproductive
