Hi,
I've been battling a case of nail fungus for well over a year. It's affecting my left hand pinky finger. It's not only infected with fungus under the nail, but the tip and sides of the finger are also decaying (if that's the right word) because of the fungus.
I've tried just about everything. I've used Tree Tea oil, I've used over the counter fungus medication, I've use vicks vapor rub, I've used hydrogen peroxide, and nothing seem to help. Nothing. In fact, a lot of these remedies seem to make the problem much, much worse. When I use Tea Tree Oil or Tinactin, the infected skin actually starts to dry up, crack up, and peel even more. I've tried to use some aloe vera as a way to alleviate the cracking, but it doesn't help much.
I'm thinking about using bleach to get rid of this problem. A few weeks ago I did indeed use some bleach, I soaked the infected finger in bleach every couple of days, and it was more effective than other treatments. But I stopped using it because I was afraid that the bleach would cause some serious damage.
I'm wondering, has anyone ever cured their nail fungus with bleach? I'm thinking about using it again, because nothing else seems to work. I don't want to go to the doctor because they prescribe that stuff that can damage your liver.
Is there a safe way to go about this, by using bleach to kill this nail fungus? Should the bleach be diluted, and by how much? For how long should I soak the nail in bleach each day?
regards,
