Lamisil, and over the counter cream and spray, works best for foot fungus. Use Lamisil cream for feet and heels twice a day for two weeks. Only use lamisil Spray in between the toes, never creams between toes.
Spray shoes out with Lysol in the white or the blue can, daily. Use anti-fungal powder in shoes daily (choose one of these powders: Desinex, Tinactin, Tolnaftate, Zeabsorb AF).
You must treat shower curtains, bathtubs, and rugs with Lysol and or powders above.
Cotton socks are better than nylon or stockings.
Topical anti-fungal creams and lotions are NEVER effective on toenail fungus. There is prescription polish called Penlac that can be used daily in bad cases. Tea tree oil and lavender oil can be used for toenail fungus but mainly just keep them clean and cut down since they will grow upward and thick instead of outward like the rest of the toenails.
Oral Antifungals like Lamisil or Sporo nox are expensive and need blood work. They might damage the liver.

Robin, more than four years after her death, I finally understand why my mother's toenails looked the way they did. Thanks!

Seems odd that she would have you mixing a acid with bleach. I've soaked in bleach/water (no vinegar) before for athlete's foot, and the toenail fungus disappeared too. But I wasn't so careful about measuring the bleach and probably used a stronger solution.
What is a home remedy for athlete's feet?

Potato is the only cure which worked for my son and my ex-husband. Cut it in half rub over clean feet 2-3 x a day, keep feet dry very important. The enzymes in the potato is what works! We visited Dr., bought RX's etc. it always came back. This cure worked on sweaty football players feet, it will work for anyone...Good luck!
For those of us who suffer from itchy feet, I recommend using Lysol spray in your shoes once a week. This kills the fungus that creates itchy feet.
I am looking for a natural treatment for foot fungus.
