If you’ve ever battled thick, yellow, brittle toenails that just won’t clear up, even after trying over-the-counter creams or pricey salon treatments, you know how frustrating it can be. The truth is, toenail fungus isn’t just cosmetic. It’s stubborn, contagious, and often keeps coming back because most people never treat it completely.
After 36 years in practice, Dr. Po Raval has developed a foolproof toenail fungus treatment that gets real, lasting results. Whether you’re dealing with mild discoloration or severe thickening, this step-by-step approach targets fungus at its source — and keeps it from returning.
What Causes Toenail Fungus?
Toenail fungus (onychomycosis) starts small — a bit of thickening, a yellow tint, maybe a nail that begins to lift. But over time, it spreads and worsens. According to Dr. Raval, the three biggest culprits are:
- Poor Circulation: As we age, blood flow to the feet decreases, making nails more vulnerable to fungal spores that are literally floating in the air.
- Trauma: Runners or anyone whose toes frequently hit their shoes are at risk. A lifted nail creates the perfect entry point for fungus.
- Unsterile Nail Salons: If the tools aren’t opened from a sealed, sterile pack, or if the pedicure bowl isn’t lined with plastic, fungus can easily spread from one client to the next.
Pro tip: Add a few drops of tea tree or lavender oil to your pedicure water — both have natural antifungal properties.
Dr. Raval’s Foolproof 4-Step Toenail Fungus Treatment
After treating thousands of patients, Dr. Raval has identified four key steps that together can eliminate toenail fungus for good.
1. Disinfect Every Pair of Shoes
Spray the inside of all your shoes — even “new” ones — with Lysol and let them dry completely. Fungal spores can live in shoes long after the infection clears, so disinfecting your footwear is the foundation of any effective toenail fungus treatment.
2. Keep Moisture Away
Fungus thrives in dark, damp environments. Use Gold Bond powder twice daily if you wear socks, or the clear Gold Bond spray if you go barefoot. Both reduce moisture and create an antifungal environment for your nails.
3. Get Regular Professional Nail Care
Every 60–90 days, visit a podiatrist who uses sterile instruments to trim and thin your nails. Removing dead, infected nail tissue allows new, healthy nail growth — an essential part of the healing process.
4. Use a Medical-Grade Antifungal
For active treatment, Dr. Raval recommends:
- Topical Treatments like Penlac or Ciclopirox (prescription strength) or a custom compound from a specialized pharmacy — especially effective for thick nails.
- Oral Medication, a once-daily pill for 90 days, accelerates nail growth and kills fungus from within. It’s safe, fast, and works well for persistent infections.
- Laser Therapy for stubborn or recurring cases. This FDA-approved option targets the fungus directly beneath the nail without pain or downtime.
Don’t Give Up on Your Toenails!
You don’t have to hide your toes or give up on sandals forever. Toenail fungus is treatable — but only with a consistent, thorough plan that addresses both your nails and your environment.
By following Dr. Raval’s 4-step method, you can finally say goodbye to fungal nails and hello to clear, healthy toes.
