What do the lines look like and are they colored? If you have fingernail fungus the topicals don't work. You would have to take a prescription oral drug (Lamisil) for three months then it kills the nail. I just went through this with my toe nail. The nail is usually yellowish.
He prescribed a urea nail stick to aid with the fungus like matter under the fingernail. I keep it trimmed back to allow for new nail growth, but it gets to a certain point and develops this gross looking end to it. Any idea why it's taking so long for the nail to regenerate, or is this an indication of a possible underlying cause?

Cut off the loose nail portion close to the skin without cutting into the skin. A pair of fingernail nippers or fingernail scissors work best. Then brush on pure tea tree oil a couple of times a day.
Depending on where it is it could be a fungus from your bra or a fungus that is contagious (I don't remember what it is called my boyfriend had it on his chest and I have it on my neck.) either way a prescription anti fungal cream should do the trick.
A brown or black dot or streak under a toenail or fingernail could be a blood clot, fungus infection, or possibly a skin cancer. Hence get it examined under a dermatoscope from a dermatologist.

I believe ringworm is a fungus. You will need a cream from your doctor. Cover the affected areas because it's highly contagious. Linens and anything you come in contact with needs to be cleaned well too. It shows up under a black light/ if you have access to one I would use it to make sure the spores are all cleaned up. That is really hard stuff to get rid of.
If I remember correctly, all of the lichens are fungal infections. If someone wanted to have sex with me who had a fungus on his penis, I would be less than enthusiastic. But ask your doctor, or google "lichen nitidus transmission" and you should get an answer.
It can be treated with Lotrimin cream - follow the instruction on the tube, which is OTC. It is contagious. You could get it from a cat or dog or a tanning bed - lots of places or people.
You have to kill the fungus in your clothing and bedding, so wash everything like underwear and sheets with hot water, measured Tide and baking soda (about 1/2 cup per load.
If treating it as directed on the tube has no effect, it may be psoriasis.

Hello,
The exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis is not properly understood and the prime cause is thought to be an yeast (fungus) called Malassezia. Although it is a fungus, but unlike other fungal infections, it is not contagious and is not considered an infection. Hence it is not transferred to the other people, towels, beddings etc.

Hi I just want to know what can cause some or all of these combined symptoms, Hair thinning, lost of appetite, a few dark toenails but not all of them, 1 fingernail half light pink half light brown with vertical lines no ridges, wart on ball of both feet and lately some lost of taste (I'm thinking due to thin white film on tongue) I was a Severe smoker until recently when I stopped.
On my shaft it would never bleed and on my butt it itches 10x worse and bleeds. How contagious are these sores on the butt? I used my direct fingernail and did not wash my hands after I itched and went back to sleep. Can I spread this to my fingernail/fingers and spread it to my blankets or other parts of my body such as eyes by rubbing them at night? How can I control this unbearable itch? I'm to embarrast to see a doctor. Please let me know how you deal?
Hello,
I have a red rash on the right side of the labia and the crease of my leg for 4 months. I have tried all the creams (cortisone, fungus etc...). Recently I had a red swallen bump in the crease of the leg. At first it was very painful, the second day it went flat and on the third day it looked like a mosquito bite. I have been running a fever. Does anyone has advice.
Yes. Staph infections are from a type of bacteria- staphylococcal. It can cause TONS of different problems and is easily spread to others. For example- have you ever heard of MRSA outbreaks? That is a kind of staph that is drug resistant and it can spread very easily. Toxic Shock Syndrome, when a tampon leads to a build up of bacteria that gets into the blood stream and shuts down the body, is another kind of staph infection. This doesn't mean you definitely have it, but it's possible.
