Most people that have dealt with nail infections in the past know the struggle all too well of trying to cure it on their own. There are hundreds of home remedies to choose from, but no official records exist of their effectiveness. The reason for this is because most of the treatments that are done at home are just mixing up a few ingredients and applying the mixture as a topical to the nail. The fungus is living, thriving, sandwiched in between the nail and the skin of the toe making topicals near impossible to penetrate. There are a few medical procedures you can have done if you suffer from nail infections that have higher cure rates. For instance you can surgically remove the nail, take oral medications, use prescription strength topicals, and apply laser treatment to the nails.
But even the medical treatments have their downfalls…

Oral medications pose serious health risks with numerous side effects. The type of medication required to cure toenail fungus can actually cause liver damage and require extensive blood work to be done.
Surgically removing the nail doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be cured. The nail itself doesn’t harbor the fungus, but rather the fungus is living in between the nail and skin of the toe. And even then, you can’t just expect to wipe the slate clean by removing the nail and applying a few topicals. The fungus is much more resilient than you think.

Probably the most effective treatment is laser therapy, it has the highest cure rate after just one treatment at 85% which is the highest cure rate out of anything other option. Most lasers are just concentrated heat sources that are able to destroy the fungus on contact.

Unfortunately, most patients afflicted with the fungus think they are immune after treatment, but this is not the case. You must still follow post treatment protocol and apply antifungal solutions daily.
