Fingernail fungus under acrylic

Common Questions and Answers about Fingernail fungus under acrylic

nail

Avatar f tn if you wear artificial nails (whether drug store or acrylic), you create a condition that would allow fungus to populate and thrive. wearing nail polish prevents you from seeing the nail. if you get an infection, you may not know about it until weeks later...preventing you from cleaning and brushing the nail.
Avatar n tn I have also been under the impression that you cannot do any surgery with fingernail polish. Definitely ask your hospital first. Can't have the acrylic nails because of the oxygen Meyer and can't have polish so that the color of your nail bed can be visually monitored in the event of complications.
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 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 f tn They do that with a little monitor clipped to a fingertip that measures with a laser through your fingernail. Acrylic nails usually makes it impossible to get a good read. In order to keep them from having to rip one off while you're in labor I'd suggest not having them on when you go in.
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 Definitive diagnosis of a fungal infection is through samples evaluated under the microscope for fungus. She is in the best position since she can evaluate the lesion in your nails personally. Try not to be confused with the differentials I presented. Have your wife seen also for proper management. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I stayed out of the salon for the beginning months. The first trimester of pregnancy is like walking on egg shells. I just went to get a pedi at 32 weeks & wore a mask. I also went very early while the salon was empty & no one was getting those stinky acrylic nails done. I would say wait until after the first trimester & consultant with your OB.
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 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.
Avatar f tn Huh thats wired. I get the jewelry part. But nail polish?
Avatar m tn I have a rather large splinter wedged under my fingernail. I've tried to dig it out unsuccessfully with tweezers and a long pin. I soaked it in eardrops for swimmers because I thought that might prevent infection. There's no blood and it doesn't really hurt. What should I do?
Avatar f tn Without the strange phobia, I have the exact same symptoms. It's black under half the big left toenail. I noticed it a few months back under my nail polish and due to having an 85+ lb. Shepard, I thought nothing of it since she's always dancing around my feet. It never hurt and I don't remember bruising my foot neither. It doesn't seem to go away and my doctor seems to think it a fungus. My thinking is NOT!
Avatar f tn About a year and half ago I was having acrylic nails put on and the girl that was replacing the nail on my middle finger of left hand. She pried it off down to the skin in center and it bled. She put an antiobiotic on it and then the acrylic filler on top. In about a week it was hurting so bad I soaked it in a nail remover and removed it. I went to my medical doctor and she said it had ruined the nail bed and it would take it a while to heal and to use neosporin on it.
Avatar f tn i put peroxide and cleaned it and ran it under water and cut the acrylic very low and put a bandaid on. anything else..please help.this shitt really hurts!
Avatar m tn I have read a lot of the answers regarding hand to genital contact, but none regarding fresh cuts under a fingernail. I feel like this might be a different situations since the cut is under my fingernail and therefore more "inside" of my body than a regular cut on my hand. So assuming that my partner lied about his status and I did touch the blood on the dildo, what are the chances of contracting HIV or other diseases?
Avatar m tn Does herpes whitlow cause pain under the fingernail and forearm? I've heard of the tingling and burning, I'm not feeling either but I'm feeling numbness under the fingernail and forearm? I did use the bathroom and with the same hand I pulled up my zipper and then in seconds used the underneath of my fingernail very firmly to secure it without washing my hands, very paranoid I spread the virus to my zipper then to the underneath of my fingernail.
Avatar m tn Hi, yes the virus can live outside but the enviornmental conditions have to be met and from what you describe would not cause any risk issue.
Avatar m tn so somehow you got blood under your fingernail but never saw it until the fingernail grew enough to see it. How do you know it was even blood? You had no risk.
Avatar n tn He told me the Crystalens is the best choice I told him I am diabtic and that I have heard that the silicone lens is not best for diabetic the day before surgery I ask him what is this lens made of and he said it was acrylic. So my ? is-is there both silicone and acrylic Crystalens I have the HD 500.
Avatar f tn Too worried id scratch them and stuff gets under them too easy.
11294269 tn?1422402907 I used to get acrylic on my nails but avoided it while preggo, the salon I now go to though is well ventilated and offers what they call a powder dip, instead of acrylic they use nail glue and this powder, no smell, no residue,no chemicals and lasts longer then acrylic and gel.
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.
