Fungal Toe nail Infection
by: Mike on Mon, Dec 22 2008

For 3 years I suffered with a nasty fungal toe nail infection on my big toe. I used AMORALFINE for this period and it did clear up a few times after a few months but came back each time. The cause seemed to me was that I was probably not filing away enough of the nail and the infection was hiding in the root. I finally and permanently got rid of it by using my electric mini drill and attachments to file away the nail deep into the roots at the sides and bed. It produced some blood but nothing too serious. I did that 2 times along with continueing the Amoralfine and that was it, never came back. I know it was risking infection etc but I made sure my foot was clean before I got started. I also used a flexible extension on the drill to get right in there. Hope this helps someone who is struggling with this.
