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 n tn I have been noticing a black dot/strip has been growing underneath my nail near the bedding. Also on my toenails there are longer black strips that resemble what I have on my hand. Is this fungus and what do I need to do? My wife has noticed it very recently on her thumb and we are all freaked out. Please help.
Avatar m tn 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 f tn So I'm 23 weeks and I'm getting to the point that I can't paint my own toenails anymore! My boyfriend refuses to paint them for me but I have such ugly feet that I need something on them. I got my 8 year old sister to do it. (= Anyone else not able to paint their toenails!?
9263335 tn?1403463032 I wanted to paint my nails but I struggled trying to cut my toenails after 30 mins I finally got the job done. Later at night I started feeling sore from my stomache & til now I still feel sore like if I had done sit ups. Next time I'll just have my husband cut my toenails..
1512967 tn?1290298949 Why is my friends toenails on same foot coming off within two days of each other? They are just peeling off with out a reason that we know of. Can u shed some light on this matter for me? Thanks! This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/201093'>Toe Nails Falling Off</a>.
Avatar f tn Toenails on left foot have been severely affected for years. They are thick, yellowish and crumbly. I keep them clean and dry and soak them in vinegar water a few times a week (although I have not been faithful). There is hardening of the skin around the big toe and bottom heel area, which are prone to cracking. The right foot is healthy, however. I moisturize and keep my feet clean and dry, and understand I can probably never rid the foot of the fungus.
Avatar n tn My big toenails are peeling from the end and then there is a darker horizontal discoloring back just a bit, then the rest of the nail looks normal. Can it be corrected with a vitamin regiment?
Avatar f tn I knew my toenails grow slowly but it never caused me any anxiety. Usually I need to trim them every 4-6 weeks. Recently, I put on nail polish which made me realise that they are almost not growing! Its been 3 weeks and the nail polish still looks as if I'd just had it put! In general my toenails look clean and healthy, there are no obvious signs of anything being wrong. But the lack of growth has me worried.
Avatar f tn Could someone please advise why I have these problems with my toes/toenails/feet please?
Avatar f tn I took my dog to have his toenails done today and refused to leave. She put him in a choke above his head and said it was for her safety. My dog started drooling and choking until I screamed at her to stop and get him down. I didn't let her finish and his eyes are bloodshot now.is this what all groomers do . if so I guess i will have to learn to do his toenails myself.
Avatar f tn However any disturbance in the circulation of toenails can restrict the growth of toenails. I suggest you to discuss this possibility with your doctor and if possible get a color Doppler of the vessels of the foot and toes done to confirm the diagnosis. 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 dermatologist.
Avatar m tn Initially there was pressure and swelling (which causes a slightly bulge in each toenail), but after a week the swelling subsided and I was left with two black toenails. One of the toenails has been slowly growing out and each time I trim it, I am able to remove the dried blood areas. On the other hand, the other toenail is not growing nearly as fast, and the affected region is not moving up at all. Any suggestions on this?
6725113 tn?1392847526 Shaving, painting my toenails....huh!!!! ANYTHING I try to do to be sexy lol. I even sit down on my bed to straighten my hair & to put my makeup on, Bye bye mirror...Lol if I wasn't "trying" to be cute today I would give up. Smh!! My belly is HUGE & i feel like I could just tumble over at any moment.
Avatar m tn For the past year I have had ridged lines going horizontally across both of my big toenails. At first I thought nothing of it but I am now wondering if it could be something serious. My other toenails are fine and so are my fingernails so I am unsure if it is beaus nails or not? Please help!
Avatar f tn We rescued two puppies They're about 4 months old, their toenails are white but on top they are pure pearly white, like a brush of nail polish. Is this a sign of illness or deficiency?
675347 tn?1365460645 I keep my dog's toenails trimmed regularly, and never ever cut down to the quick. But her nails seem so long, the quick itself is very long. Even though I trim them, the nails still seem much too long. I am concerned it will affect her feet and legs. Is this normal? Or does something need to be done?
Avatar f tn ve heard that yellow nails can be indicative of health problems. I also have yellow toenails but I went to the dermatologist and she said I had a toenail fungus. I was prescribed terbinafine for my toenails and have been on it for a week. But she didn't really check my finger nails. My nails have been like that for a while though. Also when I trim my fingernails I've noticed that more of the nail bed is exposed as if the nail edge has extended backwards. If that makes sense? Please help!
Avatar n tn Has anyone with Thyroid/Parathyroid issues expienced falling off, brittle toenails? I've lost about 60% of my hair and now my toenails are brittle and some falling off; I also have ongoing night foot muscle spasms. Thyroid results (TSH, FT4, antibodies) are normal and I did have a slightly elevated PTH in the past. Any thoughts on what would be causing these symptoms?
Avatar n tn lol i do that too, infact i enjoy tearing my toenails, i just feel satisfied when i use my fingers to slowly tear long uncut toe nails. but i stop when it hurts.
Avatar f tn I also have had lack of growth in my toenails. I was wondering if there were any categories that these symptoms fit into?
Avatar f tn These ridges are especially noticable on the bed of my thumbs and also on the toenails of the big toes. Other fingernails/toenails don't seem to have ridges, maybe just a few small ridges on index finger nails.
Avatar n tn I have had this habit for years. I am very embarrassed by my feet. My toenail picking is so bad that my toenails don't grow properly. In the summer time I will apply fake toenails just so I can wear sandals. I can't stop at times and it bugs me that I do it. I would like to know if there is a way to stop doing it. The urge to pick at my toenails is so bad at times. I never thought for a minute that there was anyone out there with the same problem. I now see that I am not alone.
Avatar m tn After I finished tx, my toenails were discolored. They were white. It grew out. Probably not the same thing since I was on different medication but you never know. I assumed it went along with skin and hair looking so bad after tx.
4683754 tn?1357938574 , the environment found in shoes and socks—the infection can spread rapidly and transfer to the toenails, resulting in onychomycosis. Infection is often seen in successive generations of families, likely due to sharing of hygenic products and showers. In the case of injury, we see the loss of toenails most frequently in sports such as running, soccer, skating, and skiing.
Avatar m tn For three or four years my toenails have looked as they do in the photo. They grow up to a certain point seeming healthy, then suddenly the toenail darkens and seems thicker and a new one begins to grow with it. They always grow up to the point in the photo and then the problem returns and a new healthy toenail starts growing, pushing the old one out. My dermatologist put me on anti-fungal medication, when my testing for fungus was positive, but now the tests come up as negative.
