Actually just seen a thread from PINKCOSMOS on this problem so shall read this and see if I can come up with an tips. You might all have already contributed to the thread so any ideas I can pick up I shall try!

But that is what my GP (well the reception desk told me when I said I would probably only need to see the nurse rather than the Doctor and she said they don't deal with this anymore and to treat myself)

I've been warned it could take a year to clear up.

My GP has recently prescribed me treatment for fungal toe infection, so that's not true.

Oh dear so embarrassing but toenails becoming discoloured and yellow and know I have a fungal infection. BUT just cannot seem to clear it. I have bought two different bottles of liquid that you paint on your toenails and not cheap at about £18 per bottle but not done any good and coming up to summer and hopefully wearing sandals. Put some little footies (mini tight socks) on the other day to hide the problem.

Been told from the Doctors they do not deal with fungal infections anymore and to buy the paint on liquids which as said I have done but to no avail.

Any idea's anyone? Anybody else sorted this problem out?

Thanks.
