I might be in the wrong forum as well but I was prescribed lamisil after a positive test for Onychomycosis on my toenails. I was told to take one tablet a day for 3 months. My doctor did check my liver before starting and he called to say everything was normal and to go forth with the treatment.
I've heard so many bad things from hair loss, death, loss of taste and I'm so scared.
Then went on line to a vitamin store and bought three different treatmnts for toe nail fungus. The one thing I used 2-3 times a day was nail repair tea tree oil and I bought oreagano oil caps and opened one of themand put the oil in the nail repair. It worked really well. I have been able to keep it under control. I use this 1 -2 times everyday! I apply it after every shower.
It appears as though both of my big toes have a new nail growing in underneath the old nail. The old Nail is raised up quite a bit compared to the new growth, which is about 1/4". I also can see a line on both nails that appears to be where the new nail is at, and that is about 75% to the end of my toe.
The new nail looks totally fine.
I'm 25 years old.
None of my other toenails are affected.
No pain or other symptoms of any kind.
re not talking about nail fungus, but I had success in killing a nail fungus that started in my big toe after the bed of the nail had been damaged at one point. Undiluted white vinegar is a great anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. The beauty of it is that it's not a pharmaceutical and isn't likely to cause any harm, since it's used externally.
the fungus made it strangely shaped so that the line where the nail is attached to the skin underneath is very curvy, not straight, and not nice to look at.
Other problems this causes is accumilation of fiber and dirt under my nail and on the side of the nail - where normal people have nice clean skin covering the side of the nail preventing such a thing.
Nail removed completely once in an attempt to solve the problem of flakiness and bumps, but grew but the same way and was a bit worse
Medical Issues: None
Fungal infection in toe nail needs long term treatment. The nail is the most difficult from where the fungus can be eradicated. You need take anti fungal tablet for at least 9-12 months. The entire nail plate takes 9-12 months to be replaced so you need to take this tablet for long time. No topical drugs only will be effective. Please talk to your physician for this.
Wishing you good health.
When I became pregnant almost 3 years ago I developed a nail fungus which I could not treat as I was pregnant. I left it and did nothing about it. After my baby was born nail got worse , and other sytoms emerged like irregular period ,bad breath , skin problems , skin ichy , tiredness , lack of breath. I struggled with nail fungus for 2 years it was getting worse and better. I am also very sensitive to certain food. I cannot treat the nail fungus with medication as I am breastfeeding my baby.
You are describing states of nail fungus actually.
What works well is pure tea tree oil. It smells strong, but it works well. If any part of the nail has separated from the skin, as often happens, cut that part of the nail off. Even if it has not yet separated, cut the nail as short as you can without injuring yourself. Then apply the tea tree oil twice a day to ALL your nails. Wash socks and underwear in hot water with baking soda .Keep your feet clean and dry.
Hello,
From the symptoms it looks like fungal nail infection or trauma skin. An infection of nail fungus occurs when fungi infect one or more of your nails. Nail fungus can be difficult to treat, and repeated infections are common. Over-the-counter antifungal nail creams and ointments are available, but they aren't very effective. You need to get a KOH examination and fungal culture of the nail scrapings done and then oral antifungals prescribed.
I was okay trying to control(possibly) the fungus on my toes and my thumb and index fingernails. Now it needs like what my wife is having(black dot on her thumb) now resembles what I had once upon a time. I don't want her to fight with fungus.
I did see a dermatolgist yesterday and she said my toes are likely fungus-related but she had I didn't have enough nail for samples. Prescribed me Penlac(sp?) and asked me to go back when the toenails grow out...
I am so confused now.
Hello,
Trauma to the nail can cause blackening of the nail because of injury to the nail bed and spillage of blood in nailbed.It does not sound like a fungal infection.This bleeding can resolve on its own and if the symptoms of severe pain persists then drilling of the nail to release the blood may have to be done.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
