  1. I clearly had a case of white superficial onychomycosis (WSO), but I successfully treated it within 15 minutes using bleach, without diluting it. All I did was dip a q-tip in the bleach and scrubbed the affected nails. Bam! problem solved! My way was a lot cheaper than anti fungal medications and quicker too. No doubt, someone will disagree with this concentrated bleach treatment, but it worked for me.
