  2. The causes for nail fungus include molds, yeast, and/or dermatophytes. The infection in one nail can extend to other nails if not treated right away. Toenail fungal infection can also be due to poor foot hygiene and nail damage. As a result, an effective over the counter nail fungus treatment is necessary.

  3. Onychomycosis is the medical term for a fungal disease which occurs in the fingernails and toenails. This condition affects people of different ages, genders and races. Symptoms of toenail fungus include nail flakiness, foul odor emanating from the nails, a dry or ashy appearance and the presence of yellowish spots on the nail bed. Other manifestations of nail fungas includes thickened nails, cracked nail edges and overgrowth of keratin.

  4. Futspa The typical over the counter nail fungus treatment is packaged as an ointment or liquid treatment. Most liquid nail fungus treatments can be brushed or dropped onto the nails. Antifungal ointments such as Futspa contain antifungal and antibacterial ingredients like lavender and thyme. Apply these ointments onto your toenails daily.

  5. Lotrimin and Lamisil Antifungal creams such as Lotrimin and Lamisil can help reduce fungal levels and treat symptoms like smell and discoloration. These creams contain Miconazole and econazole. They can also treat other infections caused by other strains of fungus like athlete's foot, jock itch, and yeast infections.

  6. Oral and Topical Medications Doctors can also prescribe oral and topical medications which are much stronger than over-the counter creams and ointments. Therefore, if your nail fungas is not affected by an OTC cream, you can ask your doctor for prescription. OTC creams will work only on mild cases of fungus infection and they are effective if used consistently and as directed.

  7. Nail Fungus Natural Treatment Apple cider vinegar and tea tree oil for nail fungus can also be used for treating fungal nail infections on fingernails and toenails. They can kill the bacteria and fungi which cause the problem. Pour a few drops of tea tree oil into a cotton swab and wipe the swab over the affected nails two times a day. If using apple cider vinegar, soak the affected nails in a container with a 1:2 mixture of apple cider vinegar and water. You can add a few drops of lavender oil in order to increase the solution's effectiveness.

  8. Tea tree oil can be purchased from a health food and organic stores and apple cider vinegar is available in most grocery stores.
