if by "treatable" you mean "apply this very expensive liquid to your toe every day for 42 weeks and you should be good" is treatable, then, yeah, I guess it is.

I had gross foot fungus and the podiatrist prescribed a pill that I took for a relatively short time (maybe a month IDK it was 8 years ago). After a few months the yellow part grew out completely and now I have normal healthy toenails. Totally worth it.

Those pills wreak havoc on your body

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It was almost a decade ago and I (fortunately) didn't have any side effects. And I'm much happier now that my feet aren't disgusting.

I'm glad that worked for you! Because let me tell you it's a pain applying that liquid everyday for 42 weeks haha

Did OTC anti-fungal creams (such as Lotrimin) not work, either?

I’ve never met anyone who said those work for them. I’m guessing if you catch it super early and are super conscientious they might work but for a lot of us they just don’t put a dent in the infection.

It usually takes a week to see improvement. I’ve used it before (along with antifungal powder) to treat a navel yeast infection, and it worked. Got rid of it after 3 weeks of constant use.

Sorry I thought you meant for toes specifically. Yeah topical seems fine for small ringworm elsewhere etc

Boric acid will help you. Not Borax. Boric Acid.

Isn’t Boric Acid toxic for pets and small children?

Topically (touching your skin) it is lethal for insects (critters with an exoskeleton) but generally safe for mammals. 5 grams eaten per 20 kilograms (~44lbs) of body weight can be lethal. So, 5 grams eaten could kill a 44 pound child. So, use it on your nail, and keep the bottle put away out of reach of children, like every other medicine, and it should be fine.
