MYTH 9: “Toenail fungus is best treated over the counter with one product”

Toenail fungus starts as foot fungus then moves to the toenails.  If you only treat the toenails, the foot fungus can keep re-infecting the toenails.  This is why most toenail treatments seem to start working but then stop before the fungus is completely treated.  I have found that the most effective method of treating toenail fungus consists of two steps:

Step 1: Treat the foot fungus with an antifungal foot serum

Step 2: Treat the toenail fungus with an antifungal toenail treatment

 

TRUTH: Treating toenail fungus over the counter is most effective if you treat the toenail fungus and the cause of the fungus with two separate topical medications.
