You have most likely happened upon at least one forum or page discussing the possibility of using Vicks Vapor Rub for toenail fungus in your quest for a good product that really works. I of course did as well, but I would like to discuss whether or not it is a legitimate home remedy for toenail fungus and let you know what I have learned about it.
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 who have had some form of success with Vicks Vapor Rub for toenail fungus, but I am not completely convinced that those people actually use ONLY Vicks or if they also used something else with it that could lead them to see more success with it. All I was personally able to achieve through using it for over a month and a half was a slightly different color of toenail, as well as somewhat softer toes. I don't feel like that's the success I was looking for.
I talked to my doctor about it, and he told me that Vicks is not a product that has any ability whatsoever to kill fungus, and I would therefore not be able to have success with vicks for toenail fungus. What it can do is smother the fungus a little bit and make your toenails seem like they might be improving because they are softer. However, the end result is that your toenails will really not have any less fungus, although they might look a little better after several weeks of use. The changes are not permanent.
I would not recommend to anyone that they use Vicks Vapor Rub to cure toenail fungus. That includes any of my friends, or anyone I might meet for that matter. For most people with a toenail fungus problem, it's hard enough just dealing with the ugly toes. Going through the disappointment of working so hard to get a product to work and then not seeing any results can be very hard.
I have since found several products that are actually approved by doctors as legitimate options for eliminating toenail fungus. I know they work, and I have seen some real results using them. No matter what you find online, just remember that a product with a money-back guarantee is probably the most legitimate option available. There are plenty of products that do not have money back guarantees, and if you use them you will most likely be disappointed that you did. - 30519
