Well, it's been a full week of treatment!!!!
I'm happy to report that it looks like I've removed it!! I cut my nail down as far as I could with nippers. Looks like 1/2 of my toenail is missing (I guess it is!) so I really have to watch it to make sure that I don't get an ingrown nail now! I've been putting the vinegar/listerine mix on it all the time, and I put Vicks on it at night. I had to put polish on it for work, so I didnt know if it was working or not! I took the polish off tonight and.....
drumroll please....
You can't tell it was ever there!! I can see a little "yuck" at the edge-because I'm looking for it! But it's a pink and whitish "yuck" instead of the yellow/brown yuck I had before!!!! I'm going to keep treating it until it's grown out, but I'm so relieved that this is working!
