I got a small piece of styrofoam stuck in my nail. I cleaned it with lots of alcohol and soap. I also used a toothpick but that made it bleed. Will it immediately get an infection tomorrow? Is it definetely going to get an infection?How many days do I have before I get a nail infection?
Did you get the styrofoam out? If so and you washed it out well (like you made it sound) then I highly doubt you will get an infection.
If you're worried about it still then continue to wash it with alcohol and maybe spray it with some blood clotting/antiseptic spray that will completely close the wound.
After that wrap the finger up with a band aid or sterile medical gauze. This should actually be over kill on your problem but if you do all this I can guarantee you won't get infected.

Does Daktacort cream work on fungal nail infection?
I have been suffering with nail fungas infection since January and I have been to the doctors and he prescribed me some daktacort cream for my infection but does daktacort work on the fungal nail infections.Does Daktacort cream work on fungal nail infection?
Not sure why your doctor prescribed Daktacort. The company that makes it, Janssen-Cilag, Ltd., says nothing about using it to treat onychomycosis. This fungal infection is treated with systemic (oral) antifungals and must be taken from 6-12 weeks and sometimes longer. Onychomycosis is stubborn and can be difficult to resolve. I think you need to speak to your doctor about changing you over to something that will work. There's no direct evidence that vinegar kills fungus but it can slow the growth of some bacteria.Does Daktacort cream work on fungal nail infection?
Yes, but applying vinegar twice a day would also work.

tea tree oil.

Good luck!How do i get rid of a toe nail infection?
the original Fungi-Nail. It comes in a brown jar and it's near the pharmacy in wal mart. I've had 2 nail fungus attacks and this stuff works. It goes away within 2 - 4 weeks if you use everyday like twice a day. costs like 6 or 8 bucks, maybe less.
It is most likely a fungal infection. You can try using Desinex or another antifungal cream, but you probably need a perscription antifungal from the doctor.

What is the most efficient way to cure feet with fungal nail infection?
Answers really appreciated.What is the most efficient way to cure feet with fungal nail infection?
I had the same problem for years and spent money on over the counter medications, don't waiste your money on that.
I finally went to the doctor and she gave me a prescription for Fluconazole 200 mg. to take once per week for 2 months.
Final cost for the whole treatment: 18 dollars
I am cured
Go to the doctorWhat is the most efficient way to cure feet with fungal nail infection?
go to the doctor to get some help.
Please go see a podiatrist. I see patients every day who refuse to get treatment until things get so bad they just can't stand it anymore, and will finally cave and come in. You are not doing yourself any good by waiting for treatment. A podiatrist or even a general practitioner can prescribe you medication to help with this condition. It will be resolved much more quickly that way.
Good luck.
I have read and heard that Vicks will do it. Also have heard (close source) that rubbing the whole foot with Vicks and putting on a sock makes the feet feel really good. Good luck

Best way to treat a nail infection? Also is it private and confidential at doctors?
I had a whitlow, which has now spread to a nail infection I think.
What is the best way to treat this? I have bought antiseptic cream but if that doesnt work then I'll have to go to the doctors?
Is it confidential at the doctors? Will it go on my record? My mum will be annoyed at me biting my nails so I don't really want her to know, so would she find out?
Thanks in advance!!Best way to treat a nail infection? Also is it private and confidential at doctors?
A doctor's records are confidential; however,if you are a minor, your parents/guardians have access to them. If you've developed a whitlow, you'll probably need oral antibiotics, rather than topical ones. As far as your Mum knowing, it's rather hard to hide the fact that you bite your nails, as the evidence is right there in front of her.Best way to treat a nail infection? Also is it private and confidential at doctors?
Apply sufficient amount of unadulterated hydrogen peroxide with a 3% concentration on your skin and nails for at least once a day. In as early as four days of using this home remedy you will notice that your fungus infection has a great improvement. The reason behind the efficacy of hydrogen peroxide in treating fungus infection is the fact that the oxygen content of this product has the ability to directly attack the organisms that thrive in your skin and nails. For nail fungus infection, you can put hydrogen peroxide both on the surface of your nails and beneath it.
Antibiotics - yes it will go on your record but that is only accessible to doctors and other healthcare professionals. And quit biting your nails!!!

How to cure a nail infection?
In my thumb I bit one of the bits of the side skin, and now I have a nail infection like beneath the skin.
I researched it on the internet and there was lots about fungal infections, but I don't know whether mine is because it's just like pus, under the skin basically. It occasionally seeps out, and its yellow, which I know it means it's infected.
Has anybody got any homemade/easy cures?How to cure a nail infection?
Buy some Hydrogen Peroxide from the drugstore. It only costs about $2.00. It is in the same area where they sell the rubbing alcohol. Apply it about three times per day until it gets better.How to cure a nail infection?
Try using a warm cloth to see if the pus and other fluids will come to the surface. If that doesn't work, then you will need to clean it out, and wear something such as gauze on it, and then if it doesn't improve in the next few hours, or you start getting pain in that area, you will need to visit the ER.lips

What is the best treatment for fungal nail infection?
Every time I think I have it under control it breaks out again. I have found that using a swimming pool on holiday makes it worse presumably it has something to do with the chemicals and the warm water?What is the best treatment for fungal nail infection?
i have that really bad right now on certain toe nails, 2 on my right foot, 2 on my left. it started from when i went to korea and lived there for 9 months. i just got an email that spraying the nails with 50% peroxide and 50% water every night before bed (or soaking them) for a couple of months u should see a big difference. u can get a bottle of peroxide for a dollar from the dollar store. im going to start doing it tonight actually.What is the best treatment for fungal nail infection?
Terbinafine tablets, dont use the nail polish things they are no good i used it for over a year, on the tablets it dissapeared completly in about 3 months
curanail is the best thing so i have heard.
go to google.com and type on how to treat a fungal nail infections you will see lots of options.
I've seen ads for ';Lamisil';, but even they say it takes a few months for new nails to totally grow in. Your dermatologist or reg. m.d. should be able to tell you what is best for your particular situation. I don't know about the chemicals in the pool water, you'd think they would kill bacteria....but warm water can be a breeding ground.
I dont think there is something that can take it away, except for going to the doc. My husband has a fungal infection on his big toe nail. The fungus needs to be killed within the nailbed. So you should go and see a doc.
use curanail from the chemist.
