Four years later… March 2021

Hello again! It’s been four weeks or so since my last update, so here it is. I’ve seen a huge improvement already.

Four years later… February 2021

After my last update, I figured I was basically healed and stopped following my regimen. The right big toenail never did grow out 100% clean, but I was happy.

Nail Fungus Update, June 2016

Products used:  Coconut oil AM, Terbinafine cream and urea cream PM As you can see I had to cut down the right big toenail that I mentioned in the last post.  Still experimenting, I tried putting only coconut oil on my toes in the daytime, and a mixture of urea and terbinafine cream before I went to bed.
