Hi. Toenail fungus is a tough one.
Check WebMD but the short answer is yes. There are no quick solutions that get down under the nail or to the root of the nail.
Nail removal to kill the fungus and then let the nail grow back naturally is not done. I have seen nails cut to remove the bulk of the fungus on a big toe which can be a thicker nail.
Let us know how it goes.
