VICKS VAPOR RUB

I use Vicks Vapor rub. I know many people that do this as well. I take gauze and put a blob of Vicks on it and make sure I cover the whole nail with the Gauze then I put on Co-band (A self sticky wrap) that holds it in place great even under wet conditions. I leave it on a day or two and re-apply. I have noticed results in less than two weeks. I take a hot bath or foot bath before the application so it softens the nail and absorbs better. I know this works on hands as well but you just have to rub in fingernails and wear cotton gloves at night when you go to bed. For just a few dollars in a budget tight economy, its worth it. Granted it doesn't take it away forever, if you keep up with it faithfully, it will work for you.

Hi Heidi,
Thanks for your comments, you are not the only one that uses Vicks Vapor Rub on their fungal nails. Its like anything else, it will not work on everyone, but there is certainly no harm in trying it.
