I had the same problem about 3 years ago. I tired everything I could find on the pharmacy shelf and nothing worked. The fluids you buy at the store won't penetrate the Nail and it won't reach the fungus.

You have to take a prescription medicine and I don't think it was very $$. I think I just had to pay the co-pay of $8 or so, it was not much. But I had to take the pills once a day and it cleared up in about 30 days but I had to continue taking the pills for about 90 days if I recall correctly. I have not had a problem since.

Perhaps it is the infection they are concerned about or perhaps the pills you will use to get rid of it. Maybe it has to be cleared from your system .

Good luck though.
