For the last Two Years when I have a Physical the Doctor says"You have Toe Fungus in Your Left Toe" and sends Me Home with Medicine. Could this be serious with MS or not. I take the Medicine My Doctor gives Me and it does not go away. So My Husband has bought Me some thing over the Counter now.

Had the same problem because we stay in bed a lot soak it in salt water and try not to where socks and keep your toe nails short and like I said soak your feet in warm salt water after a few weeks it should be better all my best to you

Makes sense since some of our DMTs are fungicides. My mom had an issue with that - she said Vick's Vapor Rub (& socks at night to keep feet moisturized with it) took care of it in less than a month.

Fungus is certainly more common in MS. I fight it too. I have a non-prescription liquid that I paint on my toenails every day. Looks like it’s growing out. I got it from having pedicures, which I used to get at least after I was no longer able to do them myself. I stopped getting pedicures & it seems to be clearing up.

Tea tree oil clears up all kinds of infections. And if that doesn't work, apple cider vinegar.
