I actually got rid of it. Heres how I did it. Plain vinegar with normal table salt mixed into it. I mixed as much salt as would disolve into the vinager and then a little extra for good measure. Now I have sever circulation problems so it was much more difficult for me to cure then most normal people. Heres what I did. First I started eating a better diet. A cup of yogurt a day along with a multivitamin more fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, onions, garlic, and all of that stuff your supposed to eat anyway. I did this to help boost my immune system so my body could do its part. Then I got one of those warm/vibrating foot massager tubs that you put water in. For the first 3 weeks i soaked my feet in the tube with it on for 30min a day. Warning this is rough on your skin. Also i'm not a doctor but you can absorb things through your skin so if you have issues with salt this may not be a good idea for you. I tiped it forward so my whole foot was not exposed just my entire nail and cuticle. After 3 weeks i could tell that it was dead at my cuticle. So i stoped soaking and started applying it with a q-tip twice a day. Make sure you get it into the cuticle. I let them stay wet for about 15 to 20 min. The salt may turn your nails white but you can tell the difference between the white smooth nail and the yellow lumpy gross nail. And last and maybe most important you have to treat this like a seriously infectious contagious disease. Get new shoes often. Change and wash your socks everyday(shouldn't have to tell you that gross). Wash your shower with antibacterial soap shampoo your carpet. Make sure that all the contaminated surfaces are clean. It's just like dealing with lice.
