Nail Fungus Information

ask at a drug store. There is a fungicide you can buy over the counter

so i got a manicure about two weeks ago and got purple nail polish put on and then i went for another manicure last week and when the lady took my nail polish off my nails were yellow? i dont smoke or anything and i heard sometimes this happens bc of the color of the polish but does anyone know how long itll take for the yellow to go away?? it looks so gross

It’s completely the color and because she didn’t use a base coat. Yeah it seems like an extra hassle, but it’s a must for those rich colors. It’ll only take a couple days for the color to come off on it’s own, but don’t use the remover constantly, it’ll weaken your nails … regardless of what the label says about it’s moisturizing capabilities …

From now on make sure they always use a base coat for the super intense colors, I simply use the clear coat as my base as well. During those times you don’t want color you should always have some sort of clear coat on them, it’ll help them stay strong.

Hope this helps

Any help would be much appreciated.

Try soaking his toes in a hot bucket of some sort and add epsom salt, baking soda, lemon juice and sea salt into the bucket of hot water and just sit there until the water turns cold. The epsom salt will pull unwanted toxins out of the infected area, the baking soda is a water softner, the sea salt removes dead skins cells, and the lemon juice will clean and wighten the toenail

Even when I use quality nail polish, my nails turn yellow.
I know you’re supposed to let them "breathe" without any nail polish on and I tried that for 2 weeks.
Nothing seemed to happen.
I know I don’t have a nail fungus. Ewww.
They’re long and healthy, but I really want to leave them unpainted for a change. Any suggestions to why they’re yellow or what I can do to make them whiter?
I tried peroxide and that didn’t work.
I do put a base coat on.
Try soaking your nails in tea tree oil mixed in hot water for around 15 mins

Just a few drops of pure essential oil is all you need. Do not follow this plan if you have asthma or are pregnant.

If you repeat this as often as possible (daily is better) then it will help.

Thanks for the warning. I was going to try that, butI have cronic asthma.

this may sound weird but out some tooth paste on them i heard that works if you have yellow nails

Paronychia is infection of the periungual tissues.
Paronychia is fairly common. It is usually caused by injury to the area — for example, from biting off or picking a hangnail or from trimming or pushing back the cuticle.
* Bacterial paronychia is caused by bacteria.
* Candidal paronychia is caused by a specific type of yeast.
* Fungal paronychia is caused by a fungus other than Candida.
A bacterial and fungal infection may occur at the same time.
Fungal paronychia may be seen in persons with a fungal nail infection. It is also common among persons with diabetes and those who have their hands in water for long periods of time.
Consult a dermatologist.

I have been suffering with a nail/foot fungus for several weeks. I am treating it with over the counter medications and it appears to be improving some. Today I am having pain throughout both my legs. It is difficult to describe, but it sort of feels like the circulation is being cut off. It is very painful!! Can the nail/foot fungus spread to the legs?

No. Go see your doctor.

I don’t think so. Toenail fungus is notoriously difficult to remove. Even those over the counter toenail lacquer treatments often fail, unless the infection is mild affecting only one or two nails.

If you have toenail fungus on only one or two nails then see your GP as he/she can give you a prescription for the toenail lacquer treatment. And you will need to get a repeat prescription because you need to treat your nails for at least 6 months.

If your toenail fungus is more widespread than two nails then you could either try olive leaf extract….take this for up to 6 months, or you can ask your doctor for a specific antifungal tablet but you will have to be monitored [liver function blood tests] on that because it carries some risks, and this would also be taken for several months. Therefore I would try olive leaf extract first as there are no risks. I would advise to take a probiotic whilst on any anti-microbial treatment…..whether olive leaf extract, another natural agent or prescribed antibiotic.

Best wishes.

nail fungus is different to foot fungus for in the nail the fungus grows back into the toenails further that is why a topical solution will not work. for i have tried them all that is why i ask for an alternative to lamisil a tablet

you can drink colloidal silver and apply it.

CS has been researched by UCLA research labs to show that it kills more than 650 types of fungus, bacteria, and viruses.

otherwise, you’ll just have to go to the doctor for the pills ,,,specifically antifungal meds

A week ago my Doctor prescribed me Salicylic acid 10% for my fungus toenail infection. The other thing is that the Doctor told me to book an appointment with the Nurse so she can take a few nail clipping and send them off to the microbiologists. The dumb nurse asked me if I have brought my nail clippings with me and I said to her I thought you was going cut my nails for me and then she said dont worry I will cut your nails for you. And then she cut nails with scissors because she did not have a nail cutter and she could only take tiny bits of nails because the scissors wont could not cut through the nails properly. 2 weeks later the results came back and the results was negative even the doctor e
was confused because he can deffinatley see that it is a fungul nail infection and I told im that the other toenails are started to become infected so then he prescribed me Salicylic acid
10%. The other thing I cant get round is why were the results negative and does Salicylic acid work

thats what they use on warts , so i dont know why he would give that to you for a fungal infection. I know that athletes foot and jock itch creme work for fungal skin infections….. hope you get better.
oh and get a second opinion , it doesnt seem the doc and his staff commuincate well…..

Okay i love to paint my nails and i think i painted them a little too much cuz they r kinda yellow. I have kept nail polish off my nails for about a month and they only look a little better. Is it a fungus or did the nail polish stain my nails or what? please help thanks(:

It could be that you have a mild nail fungus infection and if that is the case then you should start treating it right away because once it gets out of hand then you are going to have damaging trouble for a while.

The best thing to do is to get checked by your doctor and if it is one then act promptly.

Good Luck!!
