Common Questions and Answers about Fingernail fungus on babies

nail

Avatar m tn 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.
1833444 tn?1325557062 Hands are pasty white too ! However no fungus and my nails are growing like hotcakes ! Figure that one out ??? On week 13, just finished Inc.
Avatar m tn It has yellowing underneath the nail, like a fungus which the dermatologist tested for and was negative, and whiteness on top where the nail looks dead, and you can see the new nail underneath. The doctor didn't think I had damaged the nail bed because it was growing out straight, but is funny looking. He prescribed a urea nail stick to aid with the fungus like matter under the fingernail.
Avatar n tn I have an 8 yr old daughter who has two fingernails, one on each hand, that are not smooth, they are slightly bumby and the nail that grows out at the end is not uniform, curvy. They do not have complete horizontal ridges across them. Sort of like moguls on a ski slope. They are not discolored and it only occurs in those two fingernails. She has had this for close to a year. She's rarely sick and if it was nail fungus I would think it would have spread to her other nails.
Avatar n tn Injury to nail due to trauma it self can cause the features described.With out a fungus test,woods lamp done, not safe to give internal antifungals.

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar n tn Is this fungus and what do I need to do? My wife has noticed it very recently on her thumb and we are all freaked out. Please help.
Avatar n tn On the shaft of my penis, just above the circumsision line, i noticed four pepper flake specks that seemed to be under my skin. one of them had the same width as the others, but was about three times as long. i was able to remove two of them with my fingernail, they looked like little black pepper flakes. i was able to get most of the long one, but a cant get the remaining particle, and the fourth one seemed to be imbedded. the pthers easily popped out with a little jostling.
565779 tn?1216513164 five years ago, now I have a foot fungus and toe/fingernail fungus. I have also been finding these tiny black things, the size of a pinhead all over my skin, some are even going into my fingernails, as well as my skin. Is this another type of fungus, or do I have some strange bug inside of me? Also does anyone notice a gross odor from the nail fungus? Are people with Hep. C prone to fungi infections?
Avatar m tn For the past year, I keep getting these wierd dead skin on my inner cheeks. It's mostly on my left side where the teeth meet. They look whitish and when I scrape them off with a paper towel or my fingernail it is not red or bleeding underneath. It feels like skin when I scrape it out and touch it with my fingers. Does this sound like thrush? Does thrush feel like skin when touched? My mouth has been excessively dry for the past year, I have to sip water constantly and chew sugar free gum.
Avatar m tn No apparent necrosis, but the fingernail has separated and also *appears* to be infected with fungus. She has had IV antibiotics twice as well as antibiotic and antifungal pills, and it was non-responsive to the drugs. Tested negative for MRSA. Finger hurts and is pinkish-red. It is dry with no discharge.
Avatar n tn I have done some research and searched the forums but I could not find a similar question. The stripper sucked on the fingernail with the small cut and I was wondering what are the chances of contracting anything even if I my cut had blood or no blood? I know contracting HIV is not possible from what I am describing, but what about other STDs? Thank you in advance!
Avatar f tn Now you can focus on the baby with no more worries on this score.
Avatar f tn Why is my fingernail on my middle finger starting to pull away from my skin and turn white and the bottom half is pitting and peeling? What could this be?
Avatar m tn Recently I touched the breast of a stripper/masseuse. There was a small scab on the inside of her breast, not on the nipple. I saw the scab and felt it with my hand. The scab was about the size of a fingernail. I only touched the breast/scab with my hands, my penis never touched her breast. I did, however, use the same hand that touched the scab to masturbate immediately after touching the scab/breast. Could the scab be a syphillis lesion/cancre? Should I worry about this exposure?
Avatar m tn This may probably be a stupid question but if you get somebody's blood on the area where the skin ends and fingernail starts (healthy skin) is there a higher risk?
Avatar m tn I scraped it with my fingernail a few times and then it bled a little. But the next day it seemed to be slightly bigger, (im guessing because i messed with it). My lymph nodes dont seem to be any different as far as i can notice. All of this is on the left side by the way. I was looking up peritonsillar abcesses and such but i havent a clue if thats what it could be or not. I will be trying to get an appt with my ENT sometime this week to have it looked at.
Avatar f tn I have a rash on my bottom that is itching and spreading. Can anyone tell me what it may be?
Avatar f tn ve been taking trimethoprim for 7 days (last dose today) but noticed a yellow spot about the size of a fingernail on my penis head. Could this be a side effect?
Avatar m tn - Small red circles appeared in my upper thigh / groin region (almost all of them being on the thigh side of the thigh / groin crease). I noticed them about a month ago, but they do not itch, or present any problem other than visually. - I have not been sexually active with anyone for the last month an a half, and the last person i was active with was my girlfriend who has been my only sexual partner for the last four years. And each of us has never had anything like this pop up before.
Avatar m tn m saying to myself could I have given myself whitlow from my zipper to the underneath of my fingernail? Not on anything, nor having a outbreak . My hand is feeling numb and so is my wrist now. Could I have past herpes to the underneath of my fingernail possibly giving myself whitlow from my zipper? I've read the virus can live on surfaces and now I'm worried its under my fingernail and is now going to be whitlow?
Avatar f tn I have small minor cuts on my finger near my fingernail. I was suprised to see blood stain on my finger. I dont know whether its my blood or someone else bood. It was crowded gym. I tried to rub the stain with my spit and it went away. i also put the same finger i my nose when i was not aware.
