I have toe fungus It is on the toe Thank you

Hi! Would you be able to tell if the problem lies on the skin or toe nail? Thanks! Thank you for the info. The best product for skin fungus is clotrimazole cream, which is available without a prescription. It is usually applied twice daily for at least 2 weeks. I always recommend 4 weeks if possible. Fungus loves humidity, so here are some tips to decrease it: Wear cotton socks, which can breathe better If your socks get a bit humid in the afternoon at school or work, I suggest bringing a second pair to change them. Thoroughly dry your feet after showering or bathing, last. Try not to walk barefoot, especially in public places. PS: Bear in mind that we don't really have anything that penetrates the toe nail . If the nail is affected, please see a doctor or podiatrist, a prescription is required. Hoping I've helped, don't hesitate if you have other questions! Tom Samaha, your friendly neighborhood pharmacist With pleasure.
