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?
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.
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.
there was what looked like a blood vessel that he pushed back in then butterfly stitched closed. now his toe nail is turning black. could he be bleeding inside?
The only thing I tried (out of desperation) which caused no reaction was a very diluted solution of baking soda in water, but it was not very friendly to my hair. After looking on the internet, and seeing that coco betaine is a common cause of dermatitis, and given that every shampoo I have tried has contained coco-betaine, am thinking that it is the most likely culprit.
I have been noticing a black strip has been growing underneath my nail in my left hand thumb. I am a left handed person, and this very painful. At times there is slight swelling/inflammation too.

my robust, 80lb. Belgian Shepherd mix split an outer nail on his back paw over a week ago. i did take him to vet who thought sedation and removal might be called for, but agreed to clip it back and monitor the sequelae, with my applying antibiotic ointment and possible e-collar. It no longer bleeds, it does not cause him to limp or seem to bother him much in movement.
The vinegar will only work if you file down the nail bed, because the trick is you have to get under the surface of the thick nail bed. The fungus is gone and has never come back. I would recommend against taking the prescription because insurance companies think that this is a "cosmetic" issue and won't cover the prescription. Clearly it is something more, but this is the way insurance companies think, and they're the ones holding the purse strings.
So I was told by my mother and another individual that I should leave it be and the nail will heal itself over time as it grows. but what will happen to the nail under the fresh grown? will my body eat it like a wood splinter? how will the hole close up? i did sanitize my foot in anti bacterial solution.. incase.
Other topicals that are used to treat Pityrosporum folliculitis are ciclopirox olamine cream, econazole cream, alcohol and salicylic acid solution. Retinoids are not very effective. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist and discuss these treatment options with him.
I sincerely hope it helps. Take care and please do keep us posted on how you are doing. Warm regards.
It continued to hurt so this morning I took some action and got out my pointed nail file to see what was going on. What a surprise when I started to try to lift the edge of the toenail up and a bunch of yellowish puss came out... gross! My question is will this clear up on its own? I've managed to clear most of the puss out and I can see the edge of my nail clearly so I dont think its ingrown anymore (but I'm not sure). I was going to put neosporin on it and hope it clears up.
ok so i went to the doctor a few month ago to get these brown spots i have on my stomach and near the underarms. like right under where you grow your armpit hair and above it also. when i went to the doctors they told me that they knew what it was but they couldn't pull up a picture for me. i kinda forgot what she said it was called but then she gave me a prescription for it. it's ciclopirox cream 0.77% .i've been using it ever since i got it but i just noticed that it got worser.
and Ketoconazole), as well as an anti-fungal nail polish (Ciclopriox), and also a nail film (Umecta). My nails are still deteriorating (see pictures, taken today...5 months of this). I am fairly certain this began from a bag of pistachios which must have been coated with a dust containing the fungus. Is anyone else suffering this? Does anyone have any advice? Thank you in advance for any help you can send!

The most common causes are bacterial or fungal infections which enters the skin around the nail that has been damaged by trauma, such as nail biting, finger sucking, dishwashing, or chemical irritants.
The yellow-green color, indicates that a collection of pus has formed under the skin (called an abscess). If this is the case it may require an incision and drainage.

I am a 21 year old female with no prior skin ailments with the exception of some mild teenage acne. approximately one month ago i noticed the skin on my left index finger appreared very dry so i began treating it with cuticle oil and heavy moisturizures. After a week of no noticible improvement, a friend suggested the possibility of fungal nail infection, although my nail was clear and growing normally. I used Dr. G's Clear Nail Antimicrobial Solution as directed (7 days, twice daily).
