Some websites specifically discuss the standard treatments, namely Lamisil (Terbinafine) and Itraconazole. Others explore a number of less expensive and less dangerous alternatives that are reputed to work just as well.

But the first step is to find out for sure whether you are dealing with toenail fungus or something else. The resources in this section should help you in making that determination and deciding what next steps to take.
