Common Questions and Answers about Nail fungus big toe

nail

Avatar f tn I have a bruise under my left big toe nail, it covers almost all of the the toe nail area. It doesn't hurt like a bruise normally does if i put pressure on it and it never has. I don't know exactly how long it has been there as I had painted my toenails and due to my back problem it was easier just to top up the varnish than to remove it, so I first noticed it approx. 9 weeks ago. It has never hurt, I have no idea how it happened! I don;t remember banging it or anything.
Avatar m tn I've in-grown toe nail and I've been dealing with it over the years. Lately my right big toe nail is getting thicker and thicker. It's getting to a point that it is difficult to cut my toe nail. What is the cause of that? Is there anything I can do about it?
Avatar n tn growth, it appears about 6-8 months of new growth under the old nail. As I said, the new nail is approx. 75% to the end of my toe, while the old nail has reced from my cuticle area about 20%. I DO have a habbit of spending ltos of time on my feet wearing shoes too tight for me, and letting my nails grow too long...and when i clip my big toes my shoues would feel worlds better the next day. Emberasssing, but the truth.This stopped about 8 months ago..
Avatar n tn My big toe and to a lesser extent toe immediately adjacent have all the symptoms of the unsightly onychomycosis. The skin next to my big toe has for some time had a reddish appearance, but has just recently starting eroding and has rapidly deteriorated. There is no pain, but it is very unsightly and no amount of moisturing helps. Because Lamisil has potential liver toxicity and is expensive, my doctor did not seem to favor treating my onychomycosis systemically.
Avatar m tn I lost my big toe nail before. I think a lot of people do. It was ugly before it finally fell off due to the injury. Mine also came back funky. Thicker and had like a bubble in the middle of it. My doctor said that the nail bed can be damaged and so it grows back wrong. Sometimes forever, sometimes not. It also can be a fungus that you have that you don't realize. Your doctor looked at it but these are also fungus symptoms to just be aware of.
Avatar m tn I'm only 11 but ever since I went to a lake the right side of my big toe has been hurting. Where my nail touches the right side of my toe there's something yellow, and I don't know if its fungus or not. Please help.
Avatar n tn The biggist problem is that im having constant pain in my big toe of the right foot, from the nail up to the toe. It is 4-5 years that the nail is not normal, kinda of fungus however ive been on medication for that, it is the same and in the culture never grows fungus. Could it be arthritis or reumat???Can it affect the nail up to the toe. The nail is very painful if i gently touch it. Fungus does not cause pain. But can arthritis affect nail? What could u recommend? any tests to calm myself?
483814 tn?1214311480 One thing I have noticed in is the nail on the big toe on one foot is brown while the nail on the other big toes is a funky whitish band through the middle. Is this familiar to anyone and what can I do about it? I don't want to bring it up to my doctor because she follows up on my blood work by phone. If I mention it to her then she will make me come into the office. I can't afford to go in the office very often because it is twenty miles from home.
Avatar f tn I did not realize it was actually a vein until I tried to file it down smooth and it bled. I do know I have somewhat of a nail fungus as well because the nail has been peeling for several years. Not think and yellow though. My podiatrist want to remove the nail and biopsy the area. Not sure what to do about this. He says with Lamisil for 90 days, the nail will grow back healthy. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn is hep c and fungal infections of the toenail associated in anyway?
Avatar n tn About 9 months ago i had a ingrown toe nail and some noted fungas in both big toes, was treat with lamisil but i only took it for about 3 weeks one toe cleared but the other didn't. since then the fungas grew in that one toe and caused it to become thick and painful. i have to admit i don't take care of my feet like i should and i almost never cut my toe nail unless it hurts and my job requires me to be on my feet in closed shoes.
1930941 tn?1400107522 The podiatrist may remove some of the nail that is digging in or may have to remove it all. I had this happen due to toe nail fungus that I got after I broke the nail and then when the new one came in it had a fungus which made the grow funny and dig into the tissue. My GP gave me two antibiotics then an antifungal. In the end the nail had to come off and finally it is ok now. Let me know what happens. Best if you can find a podiatrist that specializes in diabetics.
Avatar m tn I have toe nail fungus on several toes on one foot. Is there a home cure? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/1100595'>TOENAIL FUNGUS</a>.
Avatar n tn Then went on line to a vitamin store and bought three different treatmnts for toe nail fungus. The one thing I used 2-3 times a day was nail repair tea tree oil and I bought oreagano oil caps and opened one of themand put the oil in the nail repair. It worked really well. I have been able to keep it under control. I use this 1 -2 times everyday! I apply it after every shower.
Avatar f tn Over the last year, my second toe on each foot has developed something akin to a fungal infection, but again, only affecting the second toe on both feet. The nail is curling up, has almost quadrupled in thickness, and is slightly yellow. It almost seems genetic that ONLY the second finger and toe on both sides have been affected. Is there a name for this? I’ve seen “nail psoriasis” and generic nail fungal infections, but this seems more particular than just a fungal infection.
1415174 tn?1453243103 Did you have a toe nail bed infection in addition to the toe nail fungus? Did your toe nail fall off or did it just penetrate the nail itself? I am taking the oral Lamisil (luckily my insurance pays for it) and so far so good (check my liver enzymes in a month). I am also taking sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim for the anti bacterial. Yeah I know vinegar is a great cleaner and has many uses. We use it to clean our bathroom floors and even on pergo it doesn't seem to cause any damage.
Avatar m tn If the nail is black ands blue, it will eventually come off and regrow. Not a big problem. If, on the other hand the toe is purple, you have a potential emergency and need to see a podiatrist immediately for an in-person evaluation. Ocasionally toe infections develop into osteomyelitis, which can spread to the bones of the feet.
Avatar f tn Toe nails are more prone to fungal infections, closed footwear, nylon hosiery, socks all provide the perfect breeding ground. Wearing nail varnish on top of these conditions won't have helped but if you were wearing open toe shoes all summer then I'd say you were extremely unlucky in developing a fungal infection. There is some anecdotal evidence that vicks vaporub works. Vinegar slows down the growth of the fungus so may help in eradicating it.
1177448 tn?1295081220 i am 22 year old male i have toe nail fungus from the past 1 month , tell me how to get rid of it and how long it will take. can i apply any antifungal cream on it ?
Avatar m tn My big toe on my right foot is yellow and all my other nails on my toes are white, and the nail on my right toe isn't joint to the skin. whats wrong with my toe? i'm scared i need to get it amputated.
Avatar m tn Is a bruised toe nail or toe? if Toe nail it was injured and it will probably fall off and grow back. If bruised toe it may be fractured or broken. Is the skin broken or is the toe off at an angle? Is it painful? It does sound like a break or at least bruised bone. You should have the family doctor look at it to see if they can wrap it up. Since you have had it for a while then it may need to be splinted.
Avatar m tn It has yellowing underneath the nail, like a fungus which the dermatologist tested for and was negative, and whiteness on top where the nail looks dead, and you can see the new nail underneath. The doctor didn't think I had damaged the nail bed because it was growing out straight, but is funny looking. He prescribed a urea nail stick to aid with the fungus like matter under the fingernail.
Avatar n tn I too have toenail fungus on both big toes & for many years. Have had one of them removed just to have it grow back the same after 2 removals. From my understanding one must use both an oral med along with a topical med if it is truly toenail fungus. I suffer from multiple skin cancers & have had 6 surgeries in 6 weeks with about a year more to go as I also have RA & thus a lousy healing & immune system.
Avatar m tn But base of my toe nail has turned bluish black and I feel there is a displacement in the nail position. The nail has moved forward displaced from its roots. Although it is not moving now, it is paining. I dont want to remove my nails. So I am going to leave it as it is. I hope it will be fine in a month or so. My only fear is whether infection is possible at this stage which may worsen the condition. Please suggest me in this regard.I will be grateful.
