Nail Fungus Treatment

I went to the doctor for a light fingernail fungus infection, and I was perscribed Nystatin and Triamcinolone Acetonide cream. The doctor also told me to use it with vicks to help it work. I read from a home remedies website that some people have been cured by using Vicks Vaporub [ http://www.nails-fungus.com/vicks-vaporub.html ] However…while looking up the instructions for how to apply it correctly I found this [ http://www.healthy-skin-guide.com/how-to-use-vicks-for-fingernail-fungus.html ] And it said that vicks can not only be damaging to your nailbeds but can cause PERMINATE LOSS TO YOUR FINGERNAILS! Not something I wanted to hear! Now I’m a bit worried, what do I do now?
It’s not illegal for Vicks to have the side effects listed for something they are not licensed to treat. Due to the fact that vicks is not an FDA approved treatment for fingernail fungus they are not required by law to list any negative side effects it may have when used as an anti-fungal cream. Also doctors don’t always “know best” A doctorate in medicine doesn’t make you impervious to mistakes, and has anyone ever heard of malpratice? However I do think Anti-Vicks site may be sponsored by a nail fungus cream, and I do generally trust my doctor.
Thanks very much for your testimonial, after some more research I think vicks is exactly what I’m going to use. However, it was my -doctor- who reccomended Vicks to me, the website is the one that tried to scare me away from the product, and I believe that’s a marketing ploy for an anti-fungal cream.

Have considered asking my doctor to prescribe Lamisil for a nail fungal infection. Why is it so darn expensive??? Any generic alternatives out there?? Would you kill your own liver or kidneys just to have beautiful nails?
