FUNGAL NAIL SIGN AND SYMPTOMS:
So, how do you know if you have a fungal nail infection? Well, one of the main symptoms that you might notice first is that the nail or part of it becomes discoloured. So, it might be that what was once a normal skin hue is now yellow. In some cases, the nail can also turn white, green, and even black.
Though, please note that if you have a dark vertical line on your nail that’s not due to an injury, speak to your doctor straight away. This is not a normal symptom of a fungal nail infection but can sometimes be a sign of cancer.
If you have a dark vertical line on your nail that’s not due to an injury, speak to your doctor straight away. This is not a normal symptom of a fungal nail infection. This can sometimes be a sign of skin cancer, so make sure you get it checked out as soon as possible.
With regular fungal nail infections, the infection usually starts at the top of the nail and then the discolouration eventually spreads downwards slowly over time like a gradient. It can sometimes also affect nearby skin, making it red, itchy, cracked or swollen.
Along with the nail changing colour, you may also notice that the nail thickens in places and becomes brittle, meaning that it easily crumbles away. All this affects the way the nail grows which can lead to it becoming distorted, so you may also notice that the nail grows into an unusual shape.
And lastly, fungal nail infections can sometimes be painful. They’re not always, but in some cases, you may find the nail hurts when pressure is applied, for example when fitting your toes into shoes. This can be especially the case if the whole nail peels away, leaving your cuticle unprotected, and you may end up with soreness and swelling.
FUNGAL NAIL TREATMENT:
Now, fungal nail infections are more common in toenails than fingernails, in men rather than women, and in older people rather than children, but they can affect anyone of any age. You’re also more likely to get them if you have damaged nails, for example through regular nail-biting, have psoriaris, diabetes, peripheral artery disease, or a weakened immune system. But not to fear, I’ll be going through the best treatments in the video.
So, what are the best ways to treat a fungal nail infection? Well, I think it's important to mention that fungal nail infections don’t actually always need treating. They’re often not serious, and if you don’t have bothersome symptoms or don’t mind the appearance, after getting it diagnosed by a healthcare professional, they may sometimes recommend leaving the fungal nail infection as it is. The infection won’t clear on its own but leaving it without treatment is an option for some.
Though, if you think you may have a fungal nail infection and are thinking of leaving it untreated, always speak to your healthcare professional first as there are some instances where it's important that they’re treated as quickly as possible. These cases include if you have certain underlying health conditions such as diabetes or a weakened immune system.
It’s also important to note that choosing to leave the infection untreated means it can spread to other parts of your body and to others, so you have to be extra cautious of this.
[Never choose to leave a fungal nail infection untreated without discussing this with a healthcare professional first. This is not a suitable option for everyone.]

You warned about terbinafine prescription pills and possible liver damage. What about applying over the counter terbinafine cream (1%) to toenails? Can that also damage the liver? And can there be any kidney damage?

My health is all messed up starting with two significant autoimmune disease. I also have psoriasis. I thought that’s what was wrong with the nails of my left foot. Saw a podiatrist, told me it was toenail fungus and gave me a prescription cream. Saw her again, said keep using the cream. Now my toenails are detaching from the nail bed. She saw that, said yup, keep using the cream. I can’t wear socks I'm afraid it's going to pull the nail off. She said toenails are slow growing and I have to wait til they grow out. I’m supposed to see her again, but i’ve already spent 150 in co-pays for toe fungus. I don't want to see her tomorrow because she doesn't do anything. My nails are white and brittle. I still don't understand how to get the cream gets under the nail to kill the fungus. After two tubes of this stuff shouldn't it be gone? How do you know if it's still there? It's all five toes. BTW, I do have psoriasis on the bottom of my right foot.

[@mayamorabito1669]

Sorry for that... It does take many months for the new healthy nail to grow... You have to continue treating your toenails. Use foot soaks a couple times a week with Epsom salt (unless your health doesn't allow foot soaks). Apply tea tree oil once or twice a day. Treat your shoes with antifungal spray and put cedar wood soles in your shoes if you can, otherwise just use antibacterial powder or baking soda in your shoes. Also, sun exposure is good for your nails.

[@111...]

Insist on her doing clippings sent to lab to confirm it's fungus not psoriasis. Then report her to medical board. You can likely get reimbursement becuz she didn't do cultures AND it prevents her from doing the next person/people wrong

[@111...]

Also, spray inside shoes with lysol and let it dry overnight. 💙

[@PEDALSnPROJECTS]

Use bandaids maybe? Take hair, skin nails vitamins

[@bennguyen1313]

I'm going to start showering with a waterproof cast-protector to always keep the foot dry and apply Lysol Disinfecting Spray and Gold Bond Medicated Foot Powder to my shoes and socks. As far as treatment, any thoughts on this daily regimen: 1) Cut nail as short as possible 2) sand down the top of the nail with a dremel / electronic-foot-file 3) Soften nail by soaking it for 20 minutes using: 1Tbsp Epson Salt + 1/3 Cup Water + 1/3 Cup White Vinegar + 1/3 Cup bleach + 1 tsp Yellow Listerine (Thymol) 4) Then Thoroughly Dry Nail with hair dryer, or use a heat lamp or even fire from a lighter (thermotherapy) 5) shine UV light with one of those (covid?) sanitation devices. 6) Mix as much BAKING SODA as possible to Vaseline+VicksVaporRub (Thymol) and apply this paste to the nail 7) Apply 2 Drops of Iodine (Decolorized Povidone) + Tea Tree / Oregano / Clove / Lavender Oil + Pro Clearz Toenail ‘polish’ (contains 1% Tolnaftate) 8) Gently wrap to prevent any water contact

[@111...]

For toenail fungus, what about sodium hypochlorate or clorine dioxide? Please, nothing is working and I've read about both: Clinisept+ I THINK is one of the products being used. What is your opinion on the findings w/these products? My friend needs help, we're in US but I've read some blogs & articles from Europe, unfortunately not USA. Help, please 🙏
