There has been a lot of marketing aimed at this problem, pretty well all of which are ineffective. There is also ample commentary on social media also addressing this issue. Again actual practise turns out to be disappointing.
Your doctor will suggest a surgical solution which forces the body to regrow the removed tissues. That fails as well.
As it turns out, I have been afflicted by this problem on two minor toes and one large toe for years and have actually experimented with just about everything out there. Again with no success until this past year. i will not waste your time talking about those failures like all the marketers do. The reality is that your nail protects the root fungal infection from external applications and the infection is also external to your internal system.
Castor oil is a penetrating oil and also a fungicide. I always wondered what the old machinists meant by a penetrating oil. When i first applied Castor oil, the first effect was that the thickened popcorned nails shrunk back to normal thickness. This had never happened before with anything else. I kept at it.
It took a while, but what i learned to do finally was to apply a thick layer and allow it to actually penetrate. This takes a full twenty minutes and it will be absorbed. Doing this after a few days of repetition the cuticle separated leaving a fresh skin contact zone. Again, take your time with this and be generous with the oil.
No one can guaratee a result, but I do think that my nails will finish off clean. They appear clear right now while I wait for the nail to carry off damaged nail portions. If not, I can simply do a do over anytime it shows up. This is definately superior to having an infected nail.
My take home is that it impacts immediately and an ample application is necessary to really get on top of it with a twenty minute absorption time. I went months before I did a heavy timed application and then it worked fast.
