what is the percentage of thymol to help my toes I have fungus on the big toe...

It would be one drop of Amoresse Thymol twice a day or twice daily applications of Vicks VapoRub as it contains Thymol as well. The liquid is easier to get under the nail plate than the Vicks though.

There are many over-the-counter things that "work" - but they will only work if you are diligent in your applications. You need to treat the nail until it completely replaces itself which can take from 6 months to a year.

hey i just bought some of the Thymol, and i'm a little confused as to the directions. it says "under the nail plate." now, my nails are raised a bit, due to the fungus obviously. do i just kind of apply it there? it seems like i should be applying it closer to the base. but i wouldn't know how to get it under the nail plate there. should i be physically lifting the nail with something to get it to go farther down? i just dont want to waste this stuff by using it incorrectly. thanks!
