Avatar n tn Prior the the potential exposure, I was prescribed a topical nail fungus medication (ClearNails Pro) that is fat soluble and claims to penetrate to the nail bed. This medication contains a drug called ciclopirox which was recently discovered to kill hiv infected cells in vitro. The percentage of ciclopirox is 6 percent. 1. Since my fungal medication is fat soluble and contains ciclopirox, will it enter the blood stream in enough concentration to affect the accuracy of an hiv antibody test?
Avatar m tn Hi, What other symptoms are present? I understand your concern regarding this toe nail lesion. This could be due to infection, particularly fungal in nature, as well as nail trauma. It is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper diagnosis. Direct clinical examination is important. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn Most treatments are either systemic antifungal medications such as terbinafine and itraconazole, or topical such as nail paints containing ciclopirox or amorolfine. There is also evidence for combining systemic and topical treatments for effective results. A 2002 study compared the efficacy and safety of terbinafine in comparison with placebo, itraconazole and griseofulvin in treating fungal infections of the nails.

Avatar m tn I am 43 years old and high school teacher, about 14 years, during a summer job I was spraying a white pigmented sanding lacquer and a white finish coat with lacquer retarder. I wore a respirator the enter time, but had not protective clothing. In fact, I wore a thin short sleeve cotton shirt. I sprayed in a small enclosed building. I would spry for about five minutes, go outside and waited about fifteen minutes and repeated the process most of the day.
Avatar f tn When I became pregnant almost 3 years ago I developed a nail fungus which I could not treat as I was pregnant. I left it and did nothing about it. After my baby was born nail got worse , and other sytoms emerged like irregular period ,bad breath , skin problems , skin ichy , tiredness , lack of breath. I struggled with nail fungus for 2 years it was getting worse and better. I am also very sensitive to certain food. I cannot treat the nail fungus with medication as I am breastfeeding my baby.
Avatar f tn t want to thin it out so much that you hit the nail bed. (blood and OUCH) Reducing the nail thickness will enable the cream/lotion/or paint on lacquer to saturate the nail better. This is not something I would advise on fingernails in fact its not something I'd advise at all under normal circumstances.

Avatar m tn I had a vitrectomy for floaters recently and found that I have lacquer cracks through macula in my eye due to myopic degeneration during my 1 month check-up with no CNV, no bleeding etc. Surgeon told me that I am at risk of CNV and asked me to watch for any signs . I still have wavy vision from my surgery and slowly recovering. 1) Is this wavy vision possibly due to lacquer cracks or from the surgery and would possibly go away?
Avatar f tn Hello, everyone. I have had a rash on my chin (see picture) for about 5 months now. It started out on the right side of my chin. It would come and go randomly without treatment. About a year ago I had some seborrheic dermatitis around my nose and the derm prescribed me Ertaczo (an anti-fungal). That cleared up the rash right away. I went to my primary physician and showed him the rash on my chin mentioning that it looked similar to the rash I originally had around my nose.
Avatar f tn It's fine.
Avatar f tn Hi I recently had an accident and I stubbed one of little toes and the whole top layer of though skin peeled of from under my nail all from the from the underneath is red like real red what can I do to keep it clean and to help it heal ?
Avatar m tn Lotrimin cream or tea tree oil are treatments, but be sure you follow directions to get it cleared up.
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 n tn Sounds like she had a lacquer crack with a resulting CNV and then Avastin injections to stop the bleeding. Depending on several factors, the damage to the retina may or may not be permanent. However I would suggest you get a second opinion as you seem a little in the dark here and it is not obvious from your post exactly what is going on here.
Avatar m tn I was recently diagnosed with myopic degeneration in my right eye, and told that I have a lacquer crack in that eye. I am 40 years old, and as a practicing attorney, am obviously concerned that my condition will either worsen in my right eye, or also develop in my left eye, thus rendering me essentially disabled. Is there any treatment, therapy or surgery available for my condition?
Avatar m tn Its constantly waking him up in the middle of the night because he shoulder will start hurting and his hand go numb. He was saying that a friend of his had the same problems but it was from lacquer thinner poisoning. Im just wondering if maybe there is another problem or not.His left arm is just fine. Im wondering if its a pinched nerve, a bad disk or what.
Avatar m tn Okay... I've hunted the web a thousand times over, and have not been able to come up with an answer.... This particular malady started life as what looked like a zit. I popped it, and it exploded into what looked like a simple bacterial infection. I treated it like any infected zit area (with neosporin and cleanliness), and it just got worse.

Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with Mayopic D with Lacquer crack one week ago because I had bleeding in my eye causing blurry and wavy center vision. Doctor put injection into my eye and I have follow-up in 4 weeks. The bleeding happened 9 days ago and got injection 5 days later. But so far, I don’t see any improvement. I just wonder normally how soon it can start recovery. I guess this also case by case but any answer or hint would be very helpful. I am 40 years old for reference. Thanks.

I was at the stores today and bby girl has been moving like crazy all day. I called my dctrs office right now just waiting for the doctor to call me back. Im not feeling any pain any cramps nothing. Anybody have an idea what might be going on.
Avatar m tn I am 41 and have high myopia (-10 L and -12R) with a recently diagnosed lacquer crack and CNV in the left eye (treated with 2 shots of Lucentis). This has been a great shock and has left me with many anxieties about the future, but my question here relates to pregnancy. I am a breastfeeding mother (to a one-year-old) and had been considering one more baby before I'm past it! However my consultant says that pregnancy may stimulate angiogenesis (blood vessel growth) and cause further CNV.
