Getting Rid of Toenail Fungus

Toenail fungus is notoriously hard to get rid of. Just do a Google search and you will see pages upon pages of home remedies, prescriptions and more on ways to kill the fungus. Let's explore a few of these and their efficacy. But before we jump into our list, you might wonder why we aren't looking at over-the-counter remedies.

One thing leads to another and you find yourself waking up the next evening and seeing ink on your body that wasn’t there the night before. You grab your phone and you frantically search ‘ tattoo removal ’ and try to figure out how much it is going to cost you to remove your mistake.
