Question
I have only been using the Vicks Vapo rub for about 1 week and I can already see an improvement. This is amazing.

Answer
I would like to know if anyone has been using Vicks for longer than 6 months and can actually see a real difference. If anyone has see a real, long term difference I'd like to know. I've heard that this is just a myth and doesn't work at all, and I don't want to waste my time if that is true.
Thank you.

Answer
I have been using apple cider vinegar (5% acidity) with good results on one nail. But the drawback is that you have to apply it at least every day and you can't forget even once. Also I read it takes up to 7 months. I just finished four months. I was able to get the vinegar under the nail each time and often two times a day. Last week the ugly fungus nail came off, with a little bending and then cutting of soft tissue at the base of the nail. Getting the nail off did not hurt, except when I was tearing some of the soft tissue. That was the reason I then decided to do some cutting...and that didn't hurt either. Underneath there is a healthy nail, so I'm going to keep applying the vinegar. I was surprised to see it there; I mean the healthy nail. For it was pink like the skin and I didn't see it until now. I hope you don't mind the details...just that I find it fascinating that this has done so well...kind of like a science experiment.

I've had these ugly nails for way too long. I got one more to go. That other one hasn't done as well, because I was not able to get the vinegar underneath the nail. When it grows out more, I'll make sure that I can get the vinegar under.

I do also have Vicks Vapor Rub too. But I decided to start with the vinegar first. I'm glad to hear that Vicks works so well, for if this vinegar treatment doesn't do exactly what I hoped, then I'll follow that method. Thanks for sharing the information!
