Is this toenail fungus? Is my treatment complete?
Hi! So for background, in January of 2024, I was diagnosed with toenail fungus on both of my big toes, for which I was prescribed ciclopirox (8% solution). Then in October of 2024, I switched from that treatment to taking terabinafine HCL (250 msg tablet daily), which I took until July 2025 (so for 8 months). Since then, I’ve used OTC anti fungal liquid (tolnaftate 1%) twice a day, every day (in the morning and before bed). This entire time, every 7-10 days, I’ve also used a new disposable nail file to file down the nail plate before soaking my feet in a mix of epsom salt, apple cider vinegar, and water for 30 minutes. Overall my nails look a lot better, but as you can see in the photos, the sides of the nails still look white. Could this be white superficial onychomycosis? Or is it more likely something else, maybe caused from one of my current treatments (like filing the nail plate or soaking my feet, although I haven’t done either in a few days)? After treating this issue for 32 months, I just want to know if I can wear toenail polish again lol. If it is toenail fungus, does anyone have any other suggestions of things I could do to get rid of it once and for all? Thank you!
