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 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 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 About two months ago my fingernail developed a black mark near the nailbed. It has since continued up toward the top of the nail while changing brownish now puple with the uppermost tip is turning white. I have an appointment in October.It doesn't hurt and does not appear to look fungal according to my doctor. Is October to long to wait? I read that melanoma can develop under the nail.
Avatar m tn Hey, Not sure exactly how this site works, so please let me know if i have done something wrong in adding pictures. However i did use photoshop to censor anything that would be offensive. So my symptoms are this: - 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.
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 Ever since I can remember, on my thumbnail and big-toe nail, there has been a strange deterioration. It looks like a series of grooves in the center of the nail (see attached pictures). My fingernails aren't weak or brittle and they're not really falling off or anything. I don't think it's anything serious, but I've always been curious what it is. If anybody could help at all, that would be great.
Avatar n tn It is a whitish line (it protrudes slightly like some kind of fungus) which starts from near *** and moves up towards somewhere under the balls. It usually itches in the morning or night but sometimes during day as well. Most intense itching is usually when i havent showered in a while. Ive tried Tinactic anti fungal spray and it relieves the itching to a certain extent but the line of fungus or pimples is still there.
Avatar n tn s between my groin and leg. I am thinking that it is a fungus but am not certainly sure. I already tried applying Lamisil fungus cream for a week with out change. Then i tried a 2% Ketoconazole cream for around 7 days now and i don't see much of a change neither. I attached 3 pictures. 2 are in normal state and the third one is after applying the Ketoconazole cream which makes the spots more even red.
Avatar n tn I have a question about thrush. From the pictures I have looked at I am not certain that I am experiencing thrush symptoms but wanted your advice. I am getting white spots on my inner cheeks. Sometimes they are easy to wipe off. Other times it takes a bit of effort with my fingernail. When the white stuff comes out it has the consistency of mucous or a booger. Sometimes my cheeks look pink but I can rub my nail across it and I will get a bunch of this white mucous like substance on my finger.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn If the nail is black, you will lose it. The best drill is to make a hole in the fingernail immediately after the injury. This is best done by heating a needle and touching it to the nail until blood comes out. Sounds yucky and painful but it is actually painless. There are no pain sensors in the nail and you stop when you hit blood, which is under pressure and immediately comes out. The drill is NO HEAT for 24-48 hours, then warmth. Heat causes swelling, which is the last thing you want to do.
3655860 tn?1347810128 Im freaking out because the more i look at pictures online the more it looks like ringworm... slightly. I notice somewhat of a ring but i'm not sure if its all in my head. Around the time it happened we got a new cat but we took her to the vet and she didn't have any ringworm just a fungus on her ears. I was the one caring for her at the time. Could it be that fungus.? I have dogs but i never hug them i just sometimes play with them and they have no signs of fungus or anything.
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 f tn I PRESENT NO SCALING , NO RAISED AREAS, NO ERUPTIONS so dermatologist always say u dont have fungus. It is obvious to me if lamisal at worked it must be fungus but my dermatologist says there something in lamisal at that is taking the burning away. IS IT POSSIBLE THIS IS FUNGUS BECAUSE THERE IS NO DRYNESS, NO SCALING,NO ERUPTIONS it is FLAT LIKE IT IS PART OF YOUR SKIN, NO SIGNS OF ITCHING ONLY tingling & burning? I know u cant comment to much without observation.
Avatar f tn I had something that looked like a red bug bite 2 months ago. It itched like crazy on and off. It then turned into a red spot that will not go away. It would itch on an off, one evening it looked slightly raised when it was itching. By morning it was just flat again and has been ever since. I went to my primary doctor to find out what it is...she said it looked like some form of dermatitis. I am not buying that though considering I have never had skin problems in the past.
Avatar m tn Not going to look at your pictures, but fungus itches. A lot. You're probably just irritating yourself.
Avatar m tn 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. Could it just be caused by the dry mouth? I tested negative for HIV a year ago on rapid tests.
Avatar m tn I have severe irritation in and under my belly button. Iside is a cut that I admittedly think I caused with my fingernail, but I've done that before and it's gone away on its own. This has been with me for at least 10 days now and theirs a growth that's formed directly below my b.b. The growth isn't a zit, I can feel it's mass underneath the skin. It's small but irritated badly. Hurts if I touch it. ---Please tell me what this sounds like to you.
Avatar f tn The doctor didn't mention fungus. How can you tell if it is that? I always thought a fungus would smell bad wouldn't it? The nail isn't raised, hasn't been damaged and doesn't smell. I don't know exactly when it appeared because I only noticed it when I removed my nail varnish, which wasn't chipped or damaged as I guess it would have been if it had been knocked. I am hoping I am just paranoid now....
Avatar m tn It is caused by a fungus that lives in the skin of almost all adults. Factors that can cause the fungus to become more visible include high humidity and immune or hormone abnormalities. Treatment involves topical and oral antifungal medicines. You can try any of the over the counter antifungal shampoos like Selsen or Nizoral on these rashes. If the symptoms persist then please consult a dermatologist and get it evaluated. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
