Avatar m tn What do the lines look like and are they colored? If you have fingernail fungus the topicals don't work. You would have to take a prescription oral drug (Lamisil) for three months then it kills the nail. I just went through this with my toe nail. The nail is usually yellowish.
Avatar m tn He prescribed a urea nail stick to aid with the fungus like matter under the fingernail. I keep it trimmed back to allow for new nail growth, but it gets to a certain point and develops this gross looking end to it. Any idea why it's taking so long for the nail to regenerate, or is this an indication of a possible underlying cause?
Avatar n tn Injury to nail due to trauma it self can cause the features described.With out a fungus test,woods lamp done, not safe to give internal antifungals.
Avatar f tn Cut off the loose nail portion close to the skin without cutting into the skin. A pair of fingernail nippers or fingernail scissors work best. Then brush on pure tea tree oil a couple of times a day.
Avatar m tn A brown or black dot or streak under a toenail or fingernail could be a blood clot, fungus infection, or possibly a skin cancer. Hence get it examined under a dermatoscope from a dermatologist. 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 doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar n tn You could try an OTC product, but if it is not appropriate for the particular fungus, you would have wasted time. So get her to the doc and get the area swabbed, so he or she can prescribe the appropriate medicine.
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 Hi I just want to know what can cause some or all of these combined symptoms, Hair thinning, lost of appetite, a few dark toenails but not all of them, 1 fingernail half light pink half light brown with vertical lines no ridges, wart on ball of both feet and lately some lost of taste (I'm thinking due to thin white film on tongue) I was a Severe smoker until recently when I stopped.
565779 tn?1216513164 five years ago, now I have a foot fungus and toe/fingernail fungus. I have also been finding these tiny black things, the size of a pinhead all over my skin, some are even going into my fingernails, as well as my skin. Is this another type of fungus, or do I have some strange bug inside of me? Also does anyone notice a gross odor from the nail fungus? Are people with Hep. C prone to fungi infections?
Avatar n tn So about three years ago during wrestling season i first noticed this fungus on my groin. The sides of my scrotum were red and very itchy. When itched my skin would flake and fall off. It also had a funny odor to it. I tried many creams and powders but nothing seemed to work. As time passed the fungus moved to my thighs derectly next to my scrotum. But three years later it is no longer red or itchy. It is a white color and looks a little scaly.
Avatar m tn I would definitely see someone. There is no OTC medication for buccal fungus which you would need to see a professional to see how its progressed and exactly what type of fungus if its actually fungus at all and they will determine how to properly treat it. Good luck!
Avatar n tn Over-the-counter (OTC). The OTC antifungals are tolnaftate (Tinactin), clotrimazole (Lotrimin), and miconazole (Micatin). These creams should be applied twice a day for at least two weeks. Application can be stopped after the rash has been gone for one week. Creams should be applied to the rash and also at least two finger widths beyond the rash. Other conditions similar to it care intertrigo and erythrasma. You need to show yourself to a dermatologist who will be able to help you better.
Avatar f tn Ringworm is tinea, a fungus. It is everywhere. It only becomes a problem when the skin is damaged by friction, moisture or both. If it is genuinely tinea, clotrimazole, available OTC, will knock it down.
Avatar m tn i have had for over lets say 1 year the baddest of the baddest finger fungus....i dunt know how to cure it.. i really need help...my fingers are not soft anymore..my fingers are cracking and they always bleed..i need help...they buff up big time...and it seems that you can see like little water bubble in the skin...and i always pop them..if you can really help me pls...it would be amazing..i would really like my fingers back..
Avatar m tn They look whitish and when I scrape them off with a paper towel or my fingernail it is not red or bleeding underneath. It feels like skin when I scrape it out and touch it with my fingers. Does this sound like thrush? Does thrush feel like skin when touched? My mouth has been excessively dry for the past year, I have to sip water constantly and chew sugar free gum. Could it just be caused by the dry mouth? I tested negative for HIV a year ago on rapid tests.
Avatar n tn It is worse during the night. Did I get a fungus from swimming or is my skin reacting to chlorine in water?
Avatar m tn I agree with Dr. Humphries, OTC treatment is not recommended without a diagnosis, and applying medications around the eye risks getting a potentially irritating medication into the eye itself. The most likely cause for dark irritated skin around the eye of a puppy would be a skin infection with bacteria, demodectic mange mites, or fungus (ringworm).
Avatar n tn About 2 years ago, after a long day of walking, the skin around my groin in the folds broke out in super-itchy, inflamed red rashes. I used OTC hydrocortisone cream, and the problem subsided significantly. However, ever since, I've had a permenant rash running up the exact middle of my skin folds where the leg meets the groin area - probably about 5 inches long right in the middle of the leg crease.
Avatar m tn He said it was balanitis, too.
Avatar n tn So about 2 weeks ago (after putting a cuticle out) the base of my fingernail got infected its red and swollen doesnt hurt much but when i touch it, then about a week ago i began to have these little white bumps on my finger tips they very in size but none bigger than 1/16in, they have now sped to some of my palm, they have no liquid in them they are only white and they open easly when scrached but they do not itch or hurt, my guess is i touched something im aleric to but i have never really been
Avatar m tn No apparent necrosis, but the fingernail has separated and also *appears* to be infected with fungus. She has had IV antibiotics twice as well as antibiotic and antifungal pills, and it was non-responsive to the drugs. Tested negative for MRSA. Finger hurts and is pinkish-red. It is dry with no discharge.
Avatar n tn one of them had the same width as the others, but was about three times as long. i was able to remove two of them with my fingernail, they looked like little black pepper flakes. i was able to get most of the long one, but a cant get the remaining particle, and the fourth one seemed to be imbedded. the pthers easily popped out with a little jostling.
Avatar m tn 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.
