Common Questions and Answers about Nail fungus lotrimin

Avatar n tn Follow the directions on the tube. For the nail fungus, get pure tea tree oil and put that on your nail every day, twice a day if possible, but at least once a day. It will take months and it smells pretty much like turpentine, but it won't hurt you. There are oral antifungals, but they have the potential to harm your liver. You can take oral odorless garlic and a probiotic or prebiotic to get your system cleaned up. Avoid eating sugar to get your flora healthy again.
Avatar m tn s kind of like a clean turpentine smell, but I use it all the time. It even cures nail fungus if you use it every day for a few months.
Avatar m tn It could be a yeast or other fungal infection. Get a tube of Lotrimin (not the Ultra formula, just the regular one because Ultra caused little tiny cysts for me in that area). All the Lotrimin creams are the same, whether they say they are for athlete's foot or jock itch or whatever, because it's all the same fungus. After showering and thoroughly drying the area, rub the cream in. Follow the directions exactly as far as how often and how many weeks.
Avatar n tn I have what I believe is a fungus infection on my scrotum. It started like a round spot with discoloration and it was itchy. I went to get checked out for STD's and was told it was a fungus and to use Lotrimin Ultra. I used and the itching seemed to go away but the spot never really disappeared. Now it seems to have grown bigger. It's itchy. I applied apple vinegar and that area turns white. I have had this off and on for about a year.
1430129 tn?1283281475 I have a nail fungus that I've dealt with for nearly two years. I have had my doctor prescribe cream, I also took Lamisil (spelling?) I went to the dermatologist with my son yesterday, and he told me to file the side of my nail with the fungus all the way down, he said in order to get rid of the fungus that's in my nail, I have to get rid of that part of my nail. Is this true? I also think I have a fungus on one of my toenails.
Avatar f tn When i was pregnant with my son i got a fungal infection underneath all my nail beds! It was very unconfortamble and embarrasing but untreatable with medication since i was pregnant. Watch your nails real close ladies!
Avatar n tn It appears as though both of my big toes have a new nail growing in underneath the old nail. The old Nail is raised up quite a bit compared to the new growth, which is about 1/4". I also can see a line on both nails that appears to be where the new nail is at, and that is about 75% to the end of my toe. The new nail looks totally fine. I'm 25 years old. None of my other toenails are affected. No pain or other symptoms of any kind.
Avatar f tn I went to the doctor and was told I had nail fungus and needed Lamisil. One tablet, once a day for 3 months. They took and ran tests of my blood to test my liver and they said all tests came back normal. They went ahead and said to begin taking the medication. I'm 21 and relatively healthy. I'm afraid to take Lamisil though. I've heard the side effects are horrible. Should I be worried?
Avatar f tn I might be in the wrong forum as well but I was prescribed lamisil after a positive test for Onychomycosis on my toenails. I was told to take one tablet a day for 3 months. My doctor did check my liver before starting and he called to say everything was normal and to go forth with the treatment. I've heard so many bad things from hair loss, death, loss of taste and I'm so scared.
Avatar f tn I unexpectedly got nail fungus last year, and I treated it with topical tea tree oil and I took Dr Mercola's Probiotic Packs Daily for bout 2 monts, it cleared it up and they have been fine since.
Avatar m tn This is sometimes flaky and scaley. I have used lotrimin, psoriasis treatmean (3%salicylic acid), coconut oil and many lotions. The lotrimin & psoriasis burn and the coconut oil seemed to restore some tone to the skin. Other than than, the marks still remain just between the shaft and merge onto the head of the penis. I need help, this is getting old and nerving. Im not even sure if this is a fungus from having sex with my gf who tends to have yeast infections.
Avatar n tn I would like to know if a penile yeast/fungus infection is a symptom of early hiv infection. The information on the Internet suggest a close relationship. Very itchy and raw spot on base penis which has been there for weeks and not responding to OTC treatment with lotrimin.
Avatar m tn Now this showed up a day after I had masturabated. So I am wondering could i have passed my fungus from my hand to my scrotum? Can one get a fungus on you penile shaft? I continue to treat myself with valtrex just in case, but have also tried Hydrocortizone cream and Lotrimin Ultra. The hydrocorizone seems to have helped a bit, but nothing super conclusive to say, "thats really helping it go away".
Avatar n tn Hi, Since your nail condition has not been given proper diagnosis ,you may discuss with your physician a nail biopsy. Nail biopsy is done to determine the cause of the condition. Based on the results of the biopsy, your physician may opt for nail surgery as a method of treatment. For patient who underwent nail surgery indications include chronic infections like fungal infections , nail tumors (which I believe is not applicable in your case) and in some trauma and unknown causes.

Avatar m tn I have toe nail fungus on several toes on one foot. Is there a home cure? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/1100595'>TOENAIL FUNGUS</a>.
Avatar m tn no no ,, my nails kinda look normal but thier is about 15 or so ridges they are like groves and its not a fungus , acctually I got a fungus several years ago and this thing killed it , it took a year to do it and the nail had a horizontal line as the fungus grew off,, and i've seen the pitcher in a magizine of what I have ,, and the drops were just 19.
Avatar n tn I was okay trying to control(possibly) the fungus on my toes and my thumb and index fingernails. Now it needs like what my wife is having(black dot on her thumb) now resembles what I had once upon a time. I don't want her to fight with fungus. I did see a dermatolgist yesterday and she said my toes are likely fungus-related but she had I didn't have enough nail for samples. Prescribed me Penlac(sp?) and asked me to go back when the toenails grow out... I am so confused now.
Avatar m tn Wash all underwear AND socks in hot water with Tide and baking soda to kill the fungus. Use tea tree oil on feet to make sure there is no yeast/fungus there or else you pass it back and forth by stepping into underwear.

Avatar n tn It can be treated with Lotrimin cream - follow the instruction on the tube, which is OTC. It is contagious. You could get it from a cat or dog or a tanning bed - lots of places or people. You have to kill the fungus in your clothing and bedding, so wash everything like underwear and sheets with hot water, measured Tide and baking soda (about 1/2 cup per load. If treating it as directed on the tube has no effect, it may be psoriasis.

Avatar n tn Hello, From the symptoms fungal infections of the nail need to be ruled out. In onychomycosis(nail fungal infection) nail plate can have a thickened, yellow, or black appearance. The nails can become rough and crumbly, or can separate from the nail bed. Topical and oral antifungals are needed which are available under prescription. My sincere advice would be to consult a dermatologist and get a KOH examination of the nail and skin specimen done to confirm the diagnosis.
Avatar m tn Fungal infection in toe nail needs long term treatment. The nail is the most difficult from where the fungus can be eradicated. You need take anti fungal tablet for at least 9-12 months. The entire nail plate takes 9-12 months to be replaced so you need to take this tablet for long time. No topical drugs only will be effective. Please talk to your physician for this. Wishing you good health.
