fingernail fungus spreading

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?

My are brittle and cracking. One tonenail has nasty fungus and split to the bed n bleeding. I have to wear little slip ons n soft boots, it's so painful. Dr said it's jus part of treatment. Let us know what the Dr says. Missing my heels..

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.

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.

Is there a risk to spreading herpes to the underneath of her fingernail grinding the virus into the underneath of the nail? Thanks.

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.

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.

I have a rash on my bottom that is itching and spreading. Can anyone tell me what it may be?

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.

On my left hand where my "pinky" finger connects i have little bitty blisters, if blisters are popped they bleed out water, dry, skin gets rough, peels and new blisters form on skin that hasn't had blisters"spreading". if blisters not popped skin gets rough and a little tan like(brown), skin peels and new blisters form outward spreading down my finger and up my hand.

She has these patches on her skin which look like ringworm. We went to the doctor and was told it was a fungus which comes from her being around someone with animals, and gave her a shampoo and a cream. Could this possibly be a wrong diagnosis and she has the virus? I'm really concerned and terrified that my child has caught this from me..

I also noticed that the cuticle is gone. It DOES NOT itch but does appear like the redness is spreading. Tonight, I looked down at my finger under the nail it was bleeding and I didn't even feel it. The rash isn't that bad since I started using a baby eczema oil on it that I purchased from the drugstore. I just really don't want my fingernail to fall off and would like to know what it could be and how I can fix it.

I have non itchy rashes for about 3 weeks, they look like fungus but pharmacy told me it is not, it is spreading and it does not bother me. They look weird, some of them get like dry skin on top and some of them kinda open and get bloodish on top. It is spreading slowly and they are not too bumpy like alergy hives, they are very little above skin...anyone anything? I used to have fungus years ago and treated with Nizoral Shampoo, this looks almos like the fungus i had but i am not sure.

I can understand taking 2 weeks before seeing positive results but should the fungus be spreading during the first 11 days while on the medication? I am getting very depressed, not sleeping good at night or able to accomplish my daily chores. My hands are constantly either itching or stinging. What should I do?

I visited the dermo (skin) dr. She said it was kinda ezcema+ fungus. I applied the given cream (Travocort, Elomet) but it didn't help much. It now spread the whole labium and my inner labium is itchy and painful. Once getting wet/hot, the skin of whole labium and the skin between labium and inner thighs are terribly red. I was given different antifungal cream and didn't work at all. Later, the urethra and vaginal are infected.

I was more concerned about spreading the fungus onto the girl (not the other way around). I could have had it on me before she gave me oral (if I knew I had it I wouldn't have done unprotected oral) For me I used anti-fungal cream and it went away.

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.

i've had white spots for years ,some how i feel theyre showing more or spreading through out my neck i dont understand why .if some one has had this what could be a remedy for this they dont itch or flaky .they look very unattractive .for a time i thought it was because of the sun ,but i barely expose my bad to it so i dont understand.

Tinea versicolor. Antifungal cremes like canesten help. Do consult doc.ok?

The only problem is my toe nails are getting darker. It started of by the small toe nail and spreading to every toe. I saw my GP and was put on Terbinafine and it stopped spreading but my toes remained black. I stopped taking the drugs because it could harm my liver function and I cannot be taking the drug all my life. The discolouring is spreading to other toes, it is embarrassing. What else can i do or use.
