There is something quite horrific about a fungal fingernail infection: no one likes to think that there is a fungus growing in, or under, their fingernail.
To determine whether, in your case, a fungal infection is the reason for yellow toenails, you should visit your doctor and get a professional diagnosis.
Toenail fungus remedies range from surgical removal of infected nails to simple application of an everyday substance thought to have some antifungal properties.
If you've heard of a vapor rub for toenail fungus, you may be envisioning holding your feet over a steaming basin while someone massages your toes, or spending relaxing time in a sauna.
As a treatment for toenail fungus uv light is seldom, if ever used. However, it can be useful as a means of ridding the environment of infectious fungal spores.
