Toenail fungal infection

The weather is at last beginning to improve and hopefully we will be able to wear sandals again soon, but I dread this time of year because I have developed a fungal infection which affects one big toe and several others. I went to a chiropodist who said it was virtually impossible to cure and she could only suggest Vic vapour rub applied to the nails daily, she'd heard that it helps, but hardly scientific! Her only other suggestion was to wear nail polish to hide it! Does anyone have any suggestions?

The tablets made my daughter very ill she's had it most of her adult life and it has infected other parts of her feet with dreadful itching although this seems under control now but the toe nails are still a problem

Wireless has the answer. I was seen by skin specialist. Lamisil was prescribed and I had to take it for quite a long time.
