There are some over the counter cures.





Outgrow is a sorta pain/fungus medication kinda like ambisole for toes.





Drawing sauve. it a black creme that sucks the bad outa your toes.





A foot doctor can cut away the infected part of your nail so it grows right. It actually hurts alot less then the pain you get when stepped on.

Natasha,


Fungus of the nail - onychomycosis - is caused by microscopic organisms called Dermatophytes. Dermatophytes grow in the nail bed, beneath the nail and live off keratin, the protein in the nail. Fungal infection can make the nails thick. The most common infection is with Trichophyton rubrum, the same fungus that causes athlete鈥檚 foot. Occasionally, other types of fungus, such as yeasts, are responsible, and people who have been abroad may have some quite exotic fungi. The condition usually begins towards the far end of the nail and may start with patches of white or yellow discoloration. If the condition is left untreated, it will proceed to the base of the nail. It will attack the nail root (matrix) and cause the nail to grow very thick and deformed. The big toe is usually the first nail to be affected with the condition spreading to adjacent nails. In rare cases this condition can also affect the skin surrounding the nails. Most people may have the fungus present on their feet. However, a nail fungus infection may be caused due to the fungus invading the skin. This can be due to injury to the nail, inflammation from an ingrowing toe nail or inappropriate nail cutting. In your case, it would seem that the injury that you received in sports might be the cause. You may purchase anti-fungal creams and ointments over-the-counter in the chemist/pharmacy. There are now some quite effective treatments for fungal nail infections. The downside is that they have to be taken for a long time, can have side effects and do not work for all types of fungi. So before starting treatment, it might be wise to visit your doctor who will usually take a sample by scraping under the nail (this may be slightly uncomfortable but not painful) and sending it to the laboratory to identify your particular fungus. It can take over three weeks for the laboratory to grow and identify the fungus.





Hope this helps

Tenactin helps, but you should really see a doctor who specializes in feet.
Go to a podiatrist. They can help prescribe the right medicines to cure the nail fungus.
