How do I treat infection of the toe nails?

Warm salt water! =)How do I treat infection of the toe nails?
You can try soaking your toes in Listerine every night for about 2 weeks and see if it helps you. It did my mom.How do I treat infection of the toe nails?
clean it with hydrogen peroxide and apply polysporin oint until healed.
try soaking them in vinegar a couple times a day
There is a prescription medication called Lamisil that is especially for fungal infections of the nail.

Take care and be well! :)
Lamasil will work, but can damage your liver. Penlac is like nail polish, but you have to keep applying it, or the fungas will come back. The other thing you can do is let your nails look ugly, it probably won't hurt you.
you may need prescription medicine that you ingest if the athletes foot creams do not work, be careful, foot fungus spreads very easily to places like armpits and genitals because they are usually dark, covered and moist. Make sure your feet dry very well after taking a shower. then put the cream on. Avoid wearing shoes and socks whenever possible and wear flip flops everywhere so that you dont spread the disease by contacting the floor.
It depends on how serious it is. If it's not too severe, yes, go to the pharmacy and ask the pharmacist which medicine works most effectively. If more serious, go to a podiatrist and let him take care of the problem. Remember, don't ignore it ...........it can spread to your other toes and THAT CAN BE A REAL PROBLEM, BABYBEEEE!





Good Luck.
EEEEwwww go see a pediatrist.

Toe infection/ingrown toe nail?

get it removed by a foot doctor. Best thing i ever didToe infection/ingrown toe nail?
Ahhh, yes?Toe infection/ingrown toe nail?
my teenage daughter had this problem a lot. had to have the nail removed on both big toes, then the doc put a medicine[ some kind of acid form ] that killed the nail in the corners so it wouldn't grow down in the toe anymore.All this was painful, but worth not having the problem anymore.You have to go to a doctor. good luck
Yes
My friend had an ingrown toenail and it had to be removed so the the new nail could grow in effectively, as far as infection goes im not sure.

I have stiches on inner thumb and have redline from my nail 2 knuckle could this b a infection?

i also have tiny red marks on knuckle and inner crease of thumb and index fingerI have stiches on inner thumb and have redline from my nail 2 knuckle could this b a infection?
Yes this most likely is an infection brewing . The signs of infection are red lines and feeling hot in the area ..


I would say that a call to your PCP is in order to rule this out . The longer you wait the harder it will be to treat , you can also loose function or the finger from gangrene if not treated .


Do you have any medical problems that could delay the healing process such as diabetes ?

Hi my opinion is that u should go to a dermatologist to get that toe infection exam ed because if u get the wrong treatment the infection will hide and come back in time.The only one that could give u the write treatment is the dermatologist. Good luck in healing.
You can get fungal cream from the chemist , just look in that section of the chemist there will be something for toes, if you want speak to one of the ladies there they will point you in the right direction and if it gets worse or doesn't get better see a doctor
Try Lotrimon. It's an anti-fungal that treats athletes foot and ringworm. It might help. You can get it any where over the counter. It is available in cream and a spray can. Good Luck!!

PLEASE HELP! I have an infection on the side of my finger near the nail bed?

I was grabbing something and the nail broke horizontally, causing me a lot of pain since it would bend at the crack, etc.





I was due for a new acrylic fill anyway %26amp; usually when they apply a new layer of bond it strengthens the entire nail and the pain subsides.





This time however, it felt better for a day, but now I'm in extreme pain. I checked the nail and it appears that the skin was possibly stuck to the side with glue, etc. Usually you just pull the skin away and it goes away.





I keep pulling the skin away, but it's not helping. The area is swollen and thin white pus is coming out, and now the area's turning red, etc. and the pain is so excrutiating I can't use the finger at all now.





I've been applying bactine several times a day and antibiotic last night.





Can anyone else recommend a course of action to heal it.





i.e., do I soak it? Do I put steriodal cream on it?





I don't want for it to develop into a worse infection.





I appreciate your help!!!!PLEASE HELP! I have an infection on the side of my finger near the nail bed?
you have a pretty nasty infection and it could get worse it not treated with oral antibiotics soon.





make an appointment to see your doctor within 24 hours.





wash finger with warm water and mild soap (ivory or dove work best) things with dyes or perfumes will irritate it more.





apply a thin layer of neosporin to the wound and wrap the finger in gauze wrap. this will help keep other dirt and germs from entering and also help to treat the germs that are already there.





take ibuprofen for pain and swelling. take 200-400mg every 6 hours but no more than 1200mg in 24 hours.





report to the er if:





-you start running a fever of 101.0 or higher


-you see red lines extending from your finger up your hand and arm (this indicated the infection has gotten into your bloodstream and you'll need i.v antibiotics asap)


-your finger begins to swell more,has increased redness,or the pus changes to a green or brownish-yellow color.





these are all signs the infection has gotten worse and you'll need i.v medication to treat it.PLEASE HELP! I have an infection on the side of my finger near the nail bed?
Hi





better go for a complete nail removal and let new nail to grow.. If u do so





in 20 days there will be a peremenant cure for ur finger nail





regards





aroun
dont get your nails done for awhile first of all. Put neosporin on it and a bandage. If it doesnt clear up go to the dr. It might need antibiotics.
Go to the doctor. Nail beds are great places for infection because the bugs get protected against drying out and can thrive in there. You could end up with a serious blood infection. GO!!!
TEA TREE OIL
you could lose a finger this way, fake nails cause nail fungus and infections that can cause you perminant harm. you likely will end up with blood poisoning from this. go to a doctor you twit

My daughter is getting a green infection under her finger nails?

My daughter is 3 years old. In june said she slammed her finger in a door, though she never complained of it. Ine day we noticed her finger nail swollen, green and black with puss oozing out of it. It only got worse. We went to the doctor and he burned a hole in it and the nail fell off. Well, now shes getting the same thing again! Its covered 1/3 of her nail on one finger and on another hand she has it starting and its the size of the tip of a pen. Her doctor insists she has had trauma or a splinter and to let it work its way out. But, if it just spreads how will it work its way out? I am scared that my daughters finger nails will fall off one by one. Any advice would be great. I also have picutes I can e-mail.My daughter is getting a green infection under her finger nails?
the doctor is right my brother slammed the door shut on my finger once it bleeds then turned purplish green and then it will grow out dont worry i would suggest putting antibotic cream and a bandaid on it for cosmetic and medical purposes
