Avatar m tn About 10 years ago I went to the nail salon and added nail tips to my fingernails. A week later I went back to remove them. Soon after removing the nail tips, I started noticing my nails on my thumbs started to change colors. I went to the dermatologist and they prescribed Penlac to treat the nail fungus. After using Penlac for a while I noticed that it was not working for me. After that, I went back to the dermatologist and they did a culture and they said it was a fungus.
Avatar m tn Yesterday I was at a nail salon and the woman was trimming my cuticles and she took a chunk out of one and it started to bleed. Before I sat down I asked if the utensils had been cleaned and she said yes. Her hands were in tact, she even let me look at them. I watched her take out the utensils from a lazor light thingy and she opened a sealed package. I do not think that the towel was clean underneath, but I did not see blood on it.
Avatar f tn Find a salon &spa rather than a nail shop. All the acrylic and solutions used in a nail shop are too much for us. (And I did nails for a living up until my 4th month) A salon and spa is safer, cleaner, and they don't see as many nail clients so the fumes are almost non existent.
Avatar f tn Nothing wrong, except those nasty foot tubs with jets. Fungus paradise. I'm a nail technician here in Atlanta. There has been no proven facts that acrylic fumes harms fetuses, however I wouldn't do it daily. Once a week is just fine.
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 I hate to connect nail salons with my experience, but I really feel it contributed to my last pregnancy ending. Last september, I found out I was expecting. During the last week of September, we had an ultrasound and saw the baby and his/her perfect and sweet heartbeat. On our anniversary in October, my husband sent me to the nail salon. I ended up getting acrylics and remember the fumes in the room being extremely strong. The next day, I started bleeding and cramping.
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 f tn Your fine, but make sure your nail salon uses sterile nail tools (prego or not). When I go I make an apt for first thing when my nail salon opens @ 9am. Less chemical fumes that way.
Avatar f tn They should have them there, you can just ask for one and if you go to a nail salon make sure they properly clean their tools.
Avatar f tn I just looked an article up about nail polish and although there are some harmful chemicals in nail polish you can still paint your nails. The article just advised that you don't frequent the nail salon much and if you do paint your nails make sure to do so in a well ventilated room.
Avatar f tn Whether it be from the sanding tool or the nail polish which is used on multiple people. The salon is a completely open salon In the mall. Right after it began bleeding they put some green liquid on the toe. I'm assuming a disinfectant. Let me know what you guys and girls think. I appreciate it greatly.
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 n tn Presuming it is actually a fungus, there is a problem because it is under the nail. Outside, on the skin for instance, you would just use Vick's-Vapo-Rub (believe it or not). Getting under the nail is a problem. There are systemic anti-fungals, but my husband did not have much luck with that. He kept painting the nails and pushing stuff under (as far as he could). I think it is pretty well gone now, but it took a long, long time.
10117941 tn?1421474268 Read an article that said nail polish should be avoided during pregnancy. Because it has toxins that can be harmful for the baby. I just painted my nails and feeling guiltyabout it. After running into this article, it was on a website. What do you ladies think? Think its true?
