Thick Toenails Why??
WHY??? I hate em! They are embarrassing! Why are they like that? and how can I make it go away???
I have the same problem. Even though your nails might not be yellow or discolored, just thick, doesn't rule out a fungus infection. If you'd like to try a home remedy, try vicks vapor rub twice a day on your nails and surrounding area. My husband has used it in the past and it worked. I am now going to try it. Another home remedy is Tea tree oil, twice a day. If you find the Tea tree oil is too strong, dilute it with olive oil. I hope this helps!

3. poor nutrition
4. poor health
5. Injuries to the nail
