DEAR DR. GOTT:
I read your articles in the paper every day and have learned many things. Never have I read about the treatment that cured my husband’s fungus, however. A doctor told him he could do one of two things. One remedy was expensive, the other was cheap. My husband opted for the cheap solution which was bleach. He dipped a cotton swab in some bleach and rubbed it around the nail for a few days. That cured it. My neighbor got rid of hers using Vicks. Mine took longer using tea tree oil.

DEAR READER:
Thanks for yet another solution to this problem. There are several homeopathic remedies such as vinegar or bleach, some through prescription, and some over-the-counter such as Miranel. It’s great we can achieve success in a variety of ways for this annoying condition.
