Nain fungus leads to an unsightly appearance of the nails. The condition is more common on the toenails than the fingernails. If you get a nail fungus, your nails may turn brown or yellow. They may also lift up from the nail bed and split into halves or crumble. While it is usually a painless condition, nail fungus can get worse with time and make wearing shoes difficult. The condition may spread and affect all your toenails (or fingernails) as well.

• Snakeroot extract  – This extract is an antifungal derived from the sunflower family. It is available online and as part of a nail fungus treatment, it must be applied generously to the affected area after every three days for the first month, twice a week during the second month, and once a week during the third and (hopefully) the final month.
• Tea tree oil  – Tea tree oil is an essential oil that has antifungal and antiseptic properties. Apply the substance directly onto affected areas and let it work its magic. Apply this oil twice a day for best results.
• Oregano oil – Oregano oil has many antifungal and antibacterial properties. You can apply it on the affected area twice a day as an effective nail fungus treatment option. At times, the oil can be used along with tea tree oil for better results.
• Vicks ® VapoRub ™  – Vicks® VapoRub™ is a topical ointment, generally used to relieve people of a persistent cough. It is also known to be a handy home remedy to treat nail fungus. You can apply the ointment on the affected area and you should be good to go soon.

You may opt for a medication to rid yourself of nail fungus or opt for a home remedy. Some medications such as Ciclopirox, Efinaconazole, and Tavaborole are highly effective, to say the least, but they may lead to a serious range of long-term side effects such as an upset stomach, jaundice, severe skin conditions, and dizziness. So, make sure you get yourself diagnosed through an experienced dermatologist before starting any of these medicines. At home or under a doctor’s supervision, whatever mode you may prefer, undergo a proper nail fungus treatment method sooner than later.
