Many people have had success getting rid of nail fungus by treating it with hydrogen peroxide. If you're curious on how you can get in on this action, below are instructions on how to make it happen.

There are two ways to use Hydrogen peroxide to treat nail fungus. Which type you should use depends on how many nails are infected with a fungus.

If you only have one nail that is infected, rinse the nail with warm water and then dry it off completely. Then take a cotton pad and soak the center with hydrogen peroxide and directly place it onto the infected nail. Keep it there for about 5 minutes, then dry the nail with a dry cotton pad. Repeat this 3-5 times a day until the fungus is gone. Even after the fungus is gone, repeat weekly for 2-3 months to prevent it from returning.

If multiple nails are infected with fungus, you should soak the nails in a mixture of 1 part hydrogen peroxide and 1 part water. Allow them to soak for 15 minutes, then be sure to completely dry them off. Repeat this process nightly for 6 weeks.
