Vick's Vaporub and fungus nails

I read that Vick's vaporub, if applied daily, can get rid of fungus on nails. Unfortunatelly, my toenails are a mess and that makes me feel less womanly. I would love to get pedicures but am too embarassed of those Beauticians at the salon.
I'd like to know if anyone tried it and has seen results. Also, how long did it take for you to see a difference and exactly how did you apply it..how many times a day etc.

Thanks so much!

(I wonder if that "peeing on fungus-like infections" poster is going to advise me to pee on my toenails!)

I don't know about vaporub, but go to the podiatrist (foot dr. ) he can give you something to reduce it like penlac (clear nail polish with medication).

I don't know about Vicks for fungus, but you should get it checked out and treated properly for health reasons. Also, don't be embarassed from the nail technicians. Whatever you have, they've seen worse. (Ask a doctor if it's okay to get a pedicure with fungus on nails.)
