Reclaim or Reclear - Nail Problems Message Board

I have been using Reclaim for about 6 months. I think i am seeing progress, the nail grows out pink, about a good .4/.5 inch then turns yellow, if the infection is in the nail bed this does not make sense. I wonder if i have different types of infection, all of my infected nails except for one are yellow and thick, one nail has white bumpy ridges at the top of the nail Should I switch to vinegar? I have also tried Thymol, but I thought Reclaim was better since I saw some new growth. Help!!!!

Fungus spores live deep within the nail bed AND the nail plate. They eat the proteins in the nail plate for food, which is why it turns yellow, gets crumbly and soft. Keep using your current medication since it seems to be working. Remember, it can take up to a year to kill the spores - sometimes longer depending on how bad it was to begin with.
