Will Vicks Cure Toenail Fungus Permanently?

If you have a toenail fungus infection, or fingernail fungus, you are not the only one. Far from it. It's estimated that over 40 million of us do. They can be very embarrassing and can ruin certain social situations, not to mention our comfort or self confidence. All of us that have it have either search or have searched extensively for a cure that works. The problem is that there are so many rumors out there about what works and what doesn't. Lately, one that's been going around is Vicks. Some people claim that they've had success with it. So, will Vicks cure toenail fungus? And if so, will it get rid of it for good?

My answer, from my experience trying it for about two and a half months, is a resounding no. Others, however, claim it worked for them. There are a few reasons why this could be. First, there are many different species of fungi that are responsible for onychomycosis, or nail fungus infections. Within those species are different types. It is almost impossible to identify which is the one in your nail. Some things may be effective on some fungi, others may not and vice versa. This could be one reason why some people see success with Vicks and others don't.

Another reason why Vicks cures toenail fungus for some and not others is the severity of the infection. Really bad ones may need a much more powerful antiseptic while less severe ones don't. Vicks may be able to cure the lesser infections.

Another question to ask, however, is whether or not Vicks will cure toenail fungus permanently. Just like a bacterial infection, nail fungi can return if not completely killed off. Vicks may work for a while, but will it be strong enough to ensure that it won't come back?
