fingernail fungus problems

Agreeing with Advocate1955, be sure to discuss this with your doctor. There's a condition called 'Terry's Nails' that is sometimes associated with advanced liver disease: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry's_nails It doesn't really sound as though this is what you're describing, but you should let them know regardless.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

I have no heart problems, no ashma or lung problems. I have asked all my doctors but nobody can tell me why this is happening or what can be done about it. What next?

So about 2 weeks ago (after putting a cuticle out) the base of my fingernail got infected its red and swollen doesnt hurt much but when i touch it, then about a week ago i began to have these little white bumps on my finger tips they very in size but none bigger than 1/16in, they have now sped to some of my palm, they have no liquid in them they are only white and they open easly when scrached but they do not itch or hurt, my guess is i touched something im aleric to but i have never really been

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.

After 2 days of the event I felt joint pain in fingers. and Rash like a fungus came to my upper lips and roof of my mouth . After around 35 days of this event some problems started on me:- 1 Thrush- In my right side of my tounge and lips appeard white spots. 2, Sore throat, reddish throat and swollen tonsil for a month. and my sound change. Red eyes for 2 days and foamy saliva 3, swollen lymph nodes in neck and groin. 4, Mild Flu around 3 week .

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.

Is fingernails determine who the father is?

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?

I knew I had a fungus, but the doctor said the ketacanzole will help that as well. (Nothing yet) 4) The skin on my glans penis began to be very very scaly, and rough..and shiny, about to crack almost. Also, my urethra became inflamed and red and hurts to the touch, and a small sore developed next to it. It was all tested for herpes...NEGATIVE TEST RESULTS...The ketacanzole did however rid of this texture on the glands penis.

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.

Hello everyone I've been doing a lot of research on the Internet and I noticed you said something about fungus. I guess I'll start by telling you my story sorry if it's too long 5-6 months ago I noticed I was peeing a lot and couldn't fully empty my bladder this happened day after having unprotected sex w this girl. I went to a clinic where they thought it was an std so they did some blood and urine work and gave me some antibiotics and a shot in the butt.

I take no medications, do not drink, do not do any drugs, stopped smoking about 6 months ago, no medical problems or history of any kind (probably why this is freaking me out so badly). Any information would be greatly appreciated...I cannot afford to go to the doctor unless it is serious. Thank you to anyone who can help in any way.
