The best treatment for toenail fungus is oral Lamisil, but it is prescription. The liver side effects are overblown and very rare. Oral Lamisil is the only medication that has been found to be successful in the treatment of toenail fungus. However, for mild cases and for people that do not want to take a pill, there are topical applications. Topical medications in the treatment of toenail fungus do not have the greatest results, as only about 30% are successful. However, they can aid in the appearance of the toenail. Also, topical medication is just as effective as prescription topical medications. So below I have rated what I believe are the best topical creams or lotion for toenail fungus:
Fungoid Tincture– Hard to find now. But back in the day was one of the most commonly prescribed toenail fungus treatments on the market. Highly recommended by older Podiatrists, if that is what you are looking for
Tineacide Anti Fungal Cream– This cream features a money back gurantee (always a plus with these positive treatments). Tineacide does have anti fungal activity. Its name comes from Tinea Rubrum which is the bug that causes toenail fungus.
Formula 3– This medication is very popular in the Podiatrist community. Many podiatrists actually sell it out of their office and swear by the results. So if you are looking for a medication highly recommended by Podiatrists this would be the way to go. You can only find it on Amazon or at a Podiatrists office.
