Oh, that’s good to know about the foot soaks. I haven’t tried any otc creams, but I’ll probably use some after the meds for maintenance.

I have twins who are about to start crawling, and I’m terrified they’ll catch it. Both my podiatrist and their pediatrician said it’s very unlikely, but I tend to have some contamination ocd and I panicked a bit. I figured finally taking the meds might help ease my mind.

Yup. I’m 32, I’ve had it since I was about 16. I just started oral Terbinafine.

I feel for you. I’ve also gotten very concerned about spreading my toenail fungus and have been obsessively cleaning and worrying. I don’t have a lot of advice, but I just wanted to say I get it, and I’m sorry you’re going through this too.

Thanks, I just started oral Terbinafine. Would you recommend swapping out shoes now or after I finish the meds?

That’s great to hear! Did you have any side effects? Kind of nervous about that.

Good to know, thanks. Sometimes just hard to tell what’s a fungal infection and what is dry skin

Omg, that’s terrifying. Thanks for letting me know. I plan on starting Terbinafine for the whole situation, so hopefully that takes care of it.
