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.
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 n tn Medicated shampoo such as ketoconazole is often used for treatment in mild cases and to reduce the risk of spreading the scalp ringworm.However, oral antifungal medicines are prescribed if the fungus invades deep into the hair follicle. This usually requires at least 6–8 weeks of treatment with oral antifungal pills or syrup. Discuss this with your doctor for proper management.
Avatar m tn 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?

Avatar n tn A girl gave me unprotected oral sex, and afterwards I noticed my penis had some fungus on it. Can the girl contract anything? Is there such thing as getting fungus infection in one's mouth?
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 m tn Was it Tinea Versicolor? That is actually a fungal infection and needs oral medication to be taken care of. The best way to rid of it is to take the meds and then sweat so the medicine gets through your pores. I hope this helps!
Avatar n tn I got that yeast cleared with cinnamon bark oil. Is yeast infection the same as a fungus? Is there any oral medication I can purchase and try? Any guidance is appreciated. Thank you.
Avatar n tn He prescribed ciclopirox which I used for 5 weeks with maybe 25-50% improvement, but it would occasionally flare and come back just as strong. Went back to the GP and he suggested maybe the fungus was almost gone and that it was more inflammation than anything. To be sure, he prescribed oral ketoconazole for 2 weeks and prescription hydrocortisone.
Avatar f tn Scratching the rash caused the fungus to spread over my hands. The fungus has taken a turn and I can tell it is starting to dry out. I have 2 more weeks to take Lamisil. I will mostly likely be back in to see my doctor or a dermatologist at this time. I may need to take more Lamisil (do not want this fungus to come back) and I will need to do something about this allergy rash. Thanks for your input.
Avatar m tn For three or four years my toenails have looked as they do in the photo. They grow up to a certain point seeming healthy, then suddenly the toenail darkens and seems thicker and a new one begins to grow with it. They always grow up to the point in the photo and then the problem returns and a new healthy toenail starts growing, pushing the old one out. My dermatologist put me on anti-fungal medication, when my testing for fungus was positive, but now the tests come up as negative.

Avatar n tn Is it possible to get oral hsv-2 if you bite your fingernail after going to the bathroom with a GH type 2 infection? If you wash your hands or if you don't?
Avatar n tn Is the fungus on a certain part of your body? Are you seeing a doctor about the fungus? Is the medication prescribed? You need to let your doctor know that the medication isn't working- if you are under the care of a doctor. It's always important they know how a patient is responding to treatment. If you are not under the care of a doctor, be sure to find one and go see them for a plan for how to deal with this fungus.
Avatar m tn I would definitely see someone. There is no OTC medication for buccal fungus which you would need to see a professional to see how its progressed and exactly what type of fungus if its actually fungus at all and they will determine how to properly treat it. Good luck!

Avatar f tn So about 7-8 weeks ago (late march) I had a nasty rash on my penis shaft and after research decided it was a fungus infection or something of the like (I also had the same rash on my forehead). I went to see a doctor and received a prescribed fungus medication and cortemizole cream. After using the medication for the 2 weeks everything was fine.
Avatar n tn my regular doctor prescribed me something called bactrim which was a ten day oral medication that seemed to work, but when that was used up and i got my next haircut it was back again. now im just not getting a haircut for a while and waiting to go see my doctor again to see whats going on.
Avatar f tn Some of these antifungal meds can cause liver problems, i.e. the oral medication/pills, so you should be monitored if you are going to choose pills to take.
Avatar n tn Both ringworm and yeast infection are fungus. in fact one of the very best treatments for ringworm is monostat mixed with hibiclense I am not a medical pro, but I did rescue 3 infested kittens 4 years ago and my hairless dogs got ringworm. from that i learned the ringworm spores can live many months. I bought a woods lamp, only to discover all ringworms do not florese. dry skin does florese. grr a waste of good money.
Avatar n tn Scalp ringworm is treated with oral antifungal medicines because the fungus invades deep into the hair follicle, where topical creams and lotions cannot penetrate. Scalp ringworm usually requires at least 6–8 weeks of treatment with oral antifungal pills or syrup. A medicated shampoo may also be prescribed to reduce the risk of spreading the scalp ringworm to someone else. If it persists, it would be best to see a dermatologist for further evaluation and management. Take care and regards.
