I've had this mild fungus on my toe for a few months now. It actually didn't occur to me that it was a fungus at first lol. My mom said tea tree oil is good for killing mold and fungus. And it's natural, of course, which is a plus. However, I used a WHOLE bottle of it over a few weeks period (4 times a day) and the fungus is still there. So I went to Walgreens to try to find something good. I found this anti-fungal pen and thought I'd give it a try. I've seen reviews before where people say tolnaftate works really well at killing fungus. After my first couple of uses I was already seeing an improvement. I've been using it for a couple weeks now and the fungus is almost gone! I'm gonna use the pen until the lotion is gone. I'm hoping the fungus will clear before that. Then as I'm finishing off the lotion, I shouldn't have to worry about the fungus returning. It says on the box to use it 2 times a day for 4 weeks. It's really easy to use. It does look like a pen lol. It has lotion inside and you twist it and then it releases the lotion onto the brush. It's very easy to put on too. The brush keeps you from putting too much. It says on the directions you shouldn't put it on the nail (since they claim nothing is strong enough to penetrate the nail). It says to put it on the surrounding skin and under the nail as far as you can get it. I put it directly on the nail too though. I feel like it works very well. So if you're using TTO right now and it isn't working for you, I highly recommend switching to something with tolnaftate!
*I found it at Walgreens for around $10.
I have just started using this product, first of all, it was kind of expensive for a couple ounces of medicine. And The instructions say to use it for 4 weeks twice a day. I was out of the product in less than a week. I felt like I had been ripped off of my money. I will never buy this product again. I am trying something else that has more product for about the same money that I wasted for the other one. I did however start to see some improvement. It just didn't last long enough for me to throw more money on another tube
