If you have been looking for a cure to toenail fungus for a little while, you have probably heard of at least a few people discussing the possibility of using Vicks Vapor Rub for toenail fungus. I of course did as well quite a while back, and right now I would like to discuss whether or not it is a legitimate home remedy for toenail fungus hopefully help you make a decision as to what could work for you.
When I decided I needed to get my toenail fungus problem under control, Vicks Vapor Rub for Toenail Fungus was the first product decided to try. I thought that it would be a good idea because I knew that I could get it at any drug store, and I figured it would not be hard to apply each day. After using it for a few weeks, I was already starting to think that it might not be a miracle product after all. I end up completely stopping its use after 6 weeks because I didn't see any major improvements at all.
There are apparently people that have had success with Vicks Vapor Rub for toenail fungus, but I don't know for sure if those people actually use ONLY Vicks or if they also used another product with it that increased their rate of success. All I was able to achieve through using it for over 6 weeks was softer toes and a slightly lighter hue of brownish yellow on my toenails. That doesn't sound like success to me.
I talked to my doctor about it, and he told me that I would not be able to have success with vicks for toenail fungus because it's not a product that has any ability whatsoever to kill fungus. It is somewhat able to smother it a little bit and make your toenails seem better because they are softer, but the end problem is that your toenails will really just be having the exact same problem, although they might look a little better after several weeks of use. The changes are purely cosmetic.
I would not recommend to any of my friends, or anyone else for that matter, that they use Vicks Vapor Rub to cure toenail fungus. For most people with a toenail fungus problem, it's hard enough just dealing with the ugly toes. Having to go through the disappointment of putting in time and effort with one product, but then not seeing results can be devastating.
I have since found several products that I know work, and they are actually approved by doctors as legitimate options for eliminating toenail fungus. No matter what you go for, just remember that a product with a money-back guarantee is probably the most legitimate option you will find. There are products out there that do not have money back guarantees, and they are quite likely also not going to give you the results you want. - 29882
