Conclusion
Vicks VapoRub is a safe alternative treatment for onychomycosis in PLWH. We found that, of the 18 subjects evaluated at 24 weeks, 83% had improvements in affected nails (median clearance 25%; range 6.3% to 87.5%), with 2 subjects having total resolution of the infection. Two of 3 subjects with no clearing of the affected nail were nonadherent. By week 48, 8 of 15 subjects assessed had stable or improved clearance of their affected nails. No side effects were reported.
