LAMASIL did not work for me. What now???

Well it's been over a year and half since I used LAMASIL (full treatment). Unfortunately it did not cure my toenail fungus. It's still there (never fully went away to begin with) and actually is slowly coming back again. It did remove most of it, but still had some left over. I actually went as far as to removing my two big toenails to regrow them. Hoping they would come back clear and those actually show sign of fungus again after coming back fresh.

This totally sucks and kills me everytime I think about it. I really wish they would find a cure for this. Im a young male that is missing out on a lot of things (anything where feet are shown).

What options do I have now? I'm contemplating of removing ALL my nails at once and cleaning the beds of them. Is that even possible? I also, live with my FATHER who has this and could care less about his feet. I think that's why its never going away, because I keep in contact with his fungus in the showers and floors. I'm moving out soon to my own place and would be in a better FUNGUS free (or sort of) environment. That's when Im thinking I should take all my nails off. Sounds extreme, but Im ready for it. No pain, No gain at this point. What do you think?

I was also thinking of removing all of them and taking another short treatment of lamasil to get rid of this fungus.

There is no need to remove the nails to kill any fungus - this is way too extreme. Call come of your local nail salons and ask if they can order you a bottle of Formula 3, or do a web search for it. It WILL work, but can take from 6-12 months to kill all the funcal spores, so please follow the instructions to the 'T'.

Have you heard about laser treatment for nail fungus? I took Lamisil once and then the generic version as well with no luck. I had better luck using vinegar and Thymol than I did with the Lamisil. It is awful I know. At least women can use polish if they need to although I know its not good to. Anyway, google laser treatment and see what you come up with. I found a site that promises great results with no risk. Totally worth a shot!!!

What if you remove the nail and use the Formula 3....Will that increase your possible success rate?

Thanks,

Ex

I don't see any reason to remove the entire nail plate to kill the infection. Just keep the debris cleaned out from under the nail plate where it has separated and use the Formula 3. Usually, the podiatrist will only remove the nail if the infection has progressed all the way to the cuticle area.
