Argh!
I...have a toe fungus.
After two decades of pedicures, no problems, nothing untoward, I move 100 miles from my salon and immediately become a statistic.
I have heard a number of rather strange "cures," the most interesting of which is to soak my feet every night for two weeks in a bath of 50% Listerine and 50% white vinegar. I'm pretty sure that will cure a fungus, but so will gasoline and a match.
Does anyone have any sane recommendations? We're still at the early stage, so I want to get a jump on it before my nail starts coming off.
ETA: When I say "early stage," I mean I can't even tell, but the lady who did my pedicure this weekend (back in NY) spotted it: a line of red under the nail that apparently is a very early stage. I wouldn't doubt it, considering the cheese I occasionally dig out from under the corners of my toenails.
I'm thinking...trim the nails to the quik and douse with alcohol on a regular basis (that's the real active ingredient in Listerine, after all, and certainly does dry and disinfect things).
Also, regular changes of socks. ::grimaces at malkatsheva::
