In a quest for a good product to help you get over your toenail fungus problem, you most likely happened upon at least one forum or page discussing the possibility of using Vicks Vapor Rub for toenail fungus. I of course did as well, but I would like to clarify what I have learned about it, and discuss whether or not it is a legitimate home remedy for toenail fungus.

When I decided I needed to get my toenail fungus problem under control, Vicks Vapor Rub for Toenail Fungus was the first product decided to try. I thought that it would be a good idea because I knew that I could get it at any drug store, and I figured it would not be hard to apply each day. After using it for a few weeks, I was already starting to think that it might not be a miracle product after all. I end up completely stopping its use after 6 weeks because I didn’t see any major improvements at all.

There are apparently people that have had success with Vicks Vapor Rub for toenail fungus, but I don’t know for sure if those people actually use ONLY Vicks or if they also used another product with it that increased their rate of success. All I was able to achieve through using it for over 6 weeks was softer toes and a slightly lighter hue of brownish yellow on my toenails. That doesn’t sound like success to me.

I talked to my doctor about it, and he told me that I would not be able to have success with vicks for toenail fungus because it’s not a product that has any ability whatsoever to kill fungus. It is somewhat able to smother it a little bit and make your toenails seem better because they are softer, but the end problem is that your toenails will really just be having the exact same problem, although they might look a little better after several weeks of use. The changes are purely cosmetic.

I would not recommend to anyone that they use Vicks Vapor Rub to cure toenail fungus. That includes any of my friends, or anyone I might meet for that matter. For most people with a toenail fungus problem, it’s hard enough just dealing with the ugly toes. Going through the disappointment of working so hard to get a product to work and then not seeing any results can be very hard.

I have since found several products that are actually approved by doctors as legitimate options for eliminating toenail fungus. I know they work, and I have seen some real results using them. No matter what you find online, just remember that a product with a money-back guarantee is probably the most legitimate option available. There are plenty of products that do not have money back guarantees, and if you use them you will most likely be disappointed that you did.
